Deep Eddy gets a cleaning

Few things are more refreshing on a hot day than diving into one of Austin’s sparkling swimming pools. But these pools don’t magically stay clean on their own; regular maintenance keeps them that way. And it’s time for Deep Eddy Pool to get its annual spring cleaning. The pool, at 401 Deep Eddy Ave., is scheduled for closure from Sunday, April 11, through Sunday, May 2. It will reopen on Monday, May 3, scrubbed and sparkling and ready for its close-up. According to the city, the closure is a week longer than usual “in order to address unforeseen storm repair items and cracks in the pool shell.” In the meantime, if you simply must swim, check out AustinTexas.gov/pools for the location and hours of a pool near you.
