Austin,Beat the Heat,at Barton Springs
Forget about the best swimming spot in Austin.
Barton Springs may be the best swimming spot on Earth.


Clear and icy and teeming with life, this 1,100 ft long spring-fed pool is one of the largest non-chlorinated swimming pools in the country. Average flow is 27,000,000 per day. These springs over the years have drawn Indians, pioneers, and tourists to this beautiful spot. The waters are brought from limestone strata to the surface by the Balcones Fault, which bisects central Texas.


Ducks, bass, and crawfish splash alongside lap swimmers and UT students desperately working on their tans. Open year round. (Subject to closure during times of heavy rainfall.) From 5am to 9am and 9pm to 10pm, you can swim, but there are no lifeguards on duty. From 9am to 9pm, the red suited lifeguards will watch your every move. Closed 9 am to 7pm on Thursdays for cleaning.
Admission: Adults, $2.50 weekdays, $2.75 weekends, 75 cents for ages 12 to 17 and 50 cents for 11 and under.
