There are several ways to get into Barton Springs’ cool water: 

1) Lower yourself down a ladder a few inches at a time over fifteen minutes. (Gloria and Flo)

2) Go to the shallow end and walk into the “warmer water” where the little kids are. (Janice)

3) Dive headfirst with your hat on (Maria) or without your hat. (LisaMc)

4) Jump without thinking about it and get it over with quickly. (Christine)

5) Marilyn swam early, stepping quickly down the ladder and pushing off right into vigorous strokes.

And SaraF and friends enjoyed the scene in the shade of a huge tree.

After a sweet morning enjoying the large family groups and screaming teens, some of us went to Red’s Porch for lunch.
