Barton Springs Pool open again

It may be a little cold for swimming, but Barton Springs Pool has reopened after recent flooding closed the year-round facility. The Parks and Recreation Department notes that some sections of the pool will remain closed for repairs, but lap swimming will not be restricted. From Nov. 20 until March 11, no admission will be charged, and the pool is open from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m., with lifeguards on duty from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Barton Springs is closed Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. for cleaning.
