Yelp.com Review - by Lisa M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I don't get to go to Barton Springs much anymore. My children have an unnatural fear of the aquatic plants that grow there. So Deep Eddy has become my cold comfort -- and I mean that in the best of...

Yelp.com Review - by Michelle C.

5.0 of 5 stars. There are few things in the world that make me feel as deeply peaceful as a summer evening swim at Deep Eddy. The families have migrated their bustle and laughter to the shelter of their homes,...

Yelp.com Review - by Tally B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I used to think I couldn't live in Austin with out Barton Springs, and then I discovered Deep Eddy. It's not necessarily prettier than Barton Springs, but the vibe is simply happier. Deep Eddy lacks...

Yelp.com Review - by Stefan U.

5.0 of 5 stars. Sometimes it's a tough decision, Barton Springs or Deep Eddy? I think both are great. If you want to hang out and watch people I would say Braton Springs, if you are a bit more interested in hanging...

Yelp.com Review - by Sasha R.

5.0 of 5 stars. So it's not quite as scenic as Barton Springs, Blue Hole, or Hamilton Pool Preserve, but I still adore Deep Eddy. While the pool itself isn't anything magnificent, it's cheap, not hard to get to, and...

lilaguide | Classic Austin pool

This is a great place to take kids. The shallow area is huge and begins at only a few inches deep so it is perfect for the little ones. The pool is spring-fed, so that means no chemicals and the water is...

Yelp.com Review - by M B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I've always been totally paranoid that one of my kids will drown, so I wanted to start them in swimming classes as soon as they were old enough. Lucky for me, there is the City of Austin Aquatics...

Yelp.com Review - by Heidi S.

2.0 of 5 stars. I don't get it. It's just a big crowded swimming pool with a flock of angry ducks loitering about a chain link's fence away from gouging your eyes out.It's cold, parking blows, there are a lot of...

3.0 of 5 stars. My group went on one of the Splash Party Movie nights... It was pretty cool except for the fact they showed the wrong movie and the kids (and adults) were expecting to see one thing while viewing...

Yelp.com Review - by M B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Deep Eddy is a great city pool. It is huge, with three sections - one deep area for lap swimmers, a middle section about 3-1/2 feet deep for tweens and teens, and a very shallow area for little kids....

Yelp.com Review - by Kyle S.

5.0 of 5 stars. If we didn't have Barton Springs, Eddy would be a legend. As it is, it's a splendid neighbourhood pool with fabulous trees and stairs and grass and a cozy feeling, lots of lap lanes and free swim...

Yelp.com Review - by Sasha C.

5.0 of 5 stars. Deep Eddy is not so much a pool as it is an institution in the city of Austin. Yes we may yearn for the warmer waters of Stacy and Balcones. We hearken back the wilder ways of Barton Springs and the...
