A good friend of mine once told me to always pack a bathing suit regardless of where I’m traveling. She also told me to hold my ski poles as if I am trying to not spill a tray of margaritas – but that’s another story…
Austin presented the perfect swimming opportunity – the Barton Springs Pool. The pool is in the Barton Creek channel and is filled by water from Main Barton Spring – the fourth largest in Texas.
It’s a great way to cool off and relax before taking advantage of everything else the city has to offer.

GOOD IDEA UNLESS YOU NEVER WANT TO BE SEEN IN ONE
