Rent a pool in Austin for an hour or a day on Swimply
In addition to a fun pool and deck area to relax and enjoy, there are also some Instaworthy spots in the yard for people and dogs snap a photo.
Pose in a fun beach scene or a cute little cafe vibe with a wall of leaves behind you.
Since we still have hot summer weather in Austin, book some time at the Loungy Turtle pool to swim, relax, and take some pictures.
Football is back and it’s still sunny and warm out. So why not enjoy football Saturdays and Sundays by watching the games with friends and family in a private pool?
The Loungy Turtle pool, located just off of 35 in Austin, is available to book via Swimply.
You can book the pool for as little as two hours and for up to 10 people.
Bring your drinks, put them into the fridge, and cook up your food on the Weber grill. Both are included in the price.
Also, free WiFi and towels, lots of places to relax in the sun or shade, and a fun pool that ranges from three to eight feet deep.
Oh yeah, and football – we’ve got a projector and screen you can rent to connect to via Bluetooth to watch your game(s).
Book the pool now before the dates all fill up.
The rain coming down in Austin lately has been wonderful, but there can be dangers after these rains in the freshwater around the area.
As the waters rise around Austin, it’s tempting to jump in the water and bring dogs along, but take caution.
Oil from the roads from the past couple of dry months will be washed into the water, as well as debris, animal feces, and fertilizer.
Give it a few days to a week for things to settle before heading into Barton Creek, Lake Austin, Lake Travis, etc.
In the meantime, you can cool off safely in the Loungy Turtle pool in East Austin.
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.
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!
There are lots of 4th of July events happening in and around Austin and it’s going to be HOT. There are currently openings to cool off in the Loungy Turtle pool over the holiday weekend, so book your time now.
The two big events happening in Austin on the 4th of July are the Austin Symphony H-E-B July 4th Concert & Fireworks and Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic.
Austin’s largest Independence Day celebration on July 4th is at Auditorium Shores and the Long Center. The Austin Symphony H-E-B July 4th Concert & Fireworks includes patriotic music from the Austin Symphony and then a fireworks display over Town Lake. Get to the Long Center or South First Street Bridge early and leave chairs behind. Just a blanket is perfect and there are lots of vendors for food and drinks.
The first concert at Q2 Stadium (where Austin FC plays) will be Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic. Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic will feature Willie Nelson & Family, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Tyler Childers, Allison Russell, Brothers Osborne, Midland, Charley Crockett, Particle Kid, Steve Earle, and Asleep at the Wheel. The show begins at noon and runs ten hours plus fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July.
I’d recommend rideshare to get to either event – you don’t want to try and drive. But before either of those, you’ll be happy if you have a pool to cool down in.
Reserve some pool time now before it’s all booked up.
Whatever you do on July 4th in Austin, leave the fireworks to the professionals. Fireworks are illegal within Austin city limits and with how dry it’s been, they are a major fire risk.
It’s hot today, it’s going to be hot tomorrow, and it will also be hot every day until probably September. Every day in the forecast for the next ten days will be sunny and 100 degrees or higher.
It may not be officially summer on the calendar, but it sure feels like it, so do what you can to stay cool.
Book the Loungy Turtle pool on Swimply by yourself or with friends and have a fun day in the water.
In addition to the pool, you get the use of a big backyard and deck to play games, grill, relax, and have an awesome time.
The pricing ranges from $40 to $50 an hour, depending on the day of the week, so if you gather some people together to pitch in, y’all can have a pool day for less than it costs to go to the movies.
You can rent the pool during the day or at night.
If you haven’t gone night swimming, it’s awesome and no sunscreen is needed. Don’t hold off too long – days are getting booked quickly.
Since I listed my pool on Swimply last year, it’s been rented out nearly every weekend and on many weekdays.
I am always curious to find out the reasons why people are renting the Loungy Turtle pool, and here are the most common reasons:
With this Texas heat the slots are filling up quick – reserve the Loungy Turtle pool and come have a great time.

I am looking at the weather thermometer outside right now and it’s 96 degrees in Austin. It’s early April and it’s 96 degrees. Don’t you wish you were at a pool right now?
Well good news, because the Loungy Turtle pool is open and available to rent hourly or daily on Swimply.
Gather friends and family (and dogs) and enjoy this private oasis.
Loungy Turtle is spacious at 30′ x 17′ and depths range from 3 feet to 8 feet deep – perfect for cannonballs.
In addition to the beautiful pool, there is a private 1/4 acre backyard and large, shaded deck, lots of outdoor seating, a Weber grill, outdoor fridge, and pool floats.
Just show up with your towel, food, and drinks and have some laid back fun.
This chlorine pool can be instant-booked for groups up to 10. So gather your people and reserve a time at Loungy Turtle.
Underwater photography with an iPhone is easy, unique, and fun – a nice, wet break from all of those other selfies you’ve taken and posted.
There is no need to get an underwater camera these days. iPhones can take great underwater photos as long as you provide protection for them.
I’d recommend the AICase universal waterproof underwater photography housing to keep your phone safe. After all, recent iPhones are water-resistant, but that’s different from waterproof.
The AICase will waterproof your phone as deep as 50 feet down. It can be used with a tripod, and it is compatible with most iPhone models.
Whether you are taking an underwater selfie or somebody else is taking an underwater photo of you, you’ll want to get the settings, such as selfie mode or time delay, ready before getting wet.
It’s also good to stay in pretty shallow water for the natural light. If the light is dim, shoot towards the surface of the water.
Please note that your iPhone touch screen won’t work underwater. So, you’ll have to use your volume button as a shutter.
Otherwise, it’s similar to taking pictures on land.
So rent a pool, get a waterproof phone case, and take those underwater selfies.
