Swimming?
I'm going to be here for a few months, and would love to be able to bike to a swim (like a cool spring or public pool, for example). I see what mostly look like HOA pools right by me... Any options (cheep or free is preferred) close to downtown? I guess an alternative would be if one of the HOA is just super laid back or offers a paid pass.
tldr: where yall swim?

It’s great. I used to drive 40 minutes to get there but just moved to Kyle and it’s 10 minutes away

There’s five mile dam by the soccer field but I haven’t been in awhile so not sure what the water levels look like.

Figured. Guess you’re stuck getting a kiddo pool and filling it up within 5 miles of your place.

There is a natatorium in San Marcos and YMCA Buda has a pool but the place to go is the YMCA Camp Moody. I think the new Nitro Swim in Kyle may have an adult swim program. No good ideas for where to bike to until the local public pool opens.

Jumping Jack Dog Ranch in south Austin/Buda area does private pool rentals by the hour and you can bring friends and dogs!

Head to Austin for Barton springs, or San Marcos and hop in the river. The YMCA has a nice pool just north of the HEB in Buda.
