Bartholomew Pool reopens

As the temperatures rise and Austinites crack open their crusty bottles of sunscreen, Austin’s pools are reopening. Bartholomew Pool at 1800 E. 51st St., where workers are still repairing damage from the winter storm, reopened yesterday on a modified schedule. The restrooms are still without running water but visitors may use the port-a-potties on site. Springwoods Pool at 13320 Lyndhurst St. is also open on a modified schedule. Reservations are not required, but pool capacity is limited and swimmers are asked to limit their time to no more than two hours. You can find the hours of operation for all of Austin’s pools here.
