Covid Cases are Rising – Rent a Private Pool to Cool Down

by

You don’t need me to tell you it’s been super hot in Austin for months and it’s not letting up any time soon. We’re looking at triple-digit highs through summer and probably until around ACL.

We all need to cool down and area pools are great for that.

But wait, COVID cases are rising. Cases are five times higher than they were three months ago. So that makes some places good to avoid if you want to stay healthy.

Rising Covid Cases in Travis County

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… if you’re swimming outside there isn’t really a risk, right?

But how about when you have to be indoors with groups of people in restrooms, entrances, etc. at pools in apartment complexes, gyms, neighborhoods, and hotels through services like ResortPass?

Keep your mind at ease by booking the Loungy Turtle pool through Swimply.

This retro, old-school curvy pool is ideal for your party, lounge day with friends, or a self-retreat.

Fully redone in 2016, the pool is four feet in the shallow end and eight feet in the deep end. Plus, there is a deck with shared areas, a Weber grill, an outdoor fridge, and lots of seats in and out of the sun.

Book by the hour for a low fee and split the cost with your crew. Dogs are welcome!

Toxic Algae Exposure in Austin Lakes Could Be Fatal to Your Dog

A dog died within an hour of swimming in “Barking Springs” (part of Barton Creek) this past weekend.

The dog’s cause of death is unknown, but toxic algae exposure is considered a likely cause.

This sort of tragedy happens all too often during Austin summers, and it’s important for dog owners to be aware of the risks of letting their pups swim in local lakes and streams.

Harmful algae may be present in any natural water body in Central Texas at any time, according to a report by KXAN. This can happen more often in hot temperatures and drought conditions.

It is more likely to be along shorelines and in pockets of warm, still water.

If you are looking for a place for your dog to cool off in water, you can book an Austin pool by the hour for sun and puppy fun.
