| Saturday Morning Barton Springs Swim Followed by Bike Ride |
| Date: |
Every Saturday
|
| Time: |
8:00a.m. PROMPT swim start in Barton, 9:15 a.m. bike from Barton Springs parking lot |
| Type: |
Swim Workout followed by Bike |
| Note: |
Swim at 8:00 a.m. and then bike ride following at 9:15 a.m.
Please note: You should be able to park in the parking lot at Barton Springs prior to 8 a.m. without being charged for parking. Barton Springs starts charging entrance fee at 9 a.m. NO MATTER IF YOU WERE ALREADY IN THE POOL SWIMMING prior to 9 a.m. We are starting our swim workout promptly at 8 a.m. and will be finished by 9 a.m. so you will not have to pay a fee.
Open to anyone. Meet at the shallow end of Barton Springs for 8:00 a.m. informal swim workout. This is NOT a coached workout. It is merely a chance for athletes to get together and do some open water swimming.
After the swim we will get dressed and head out for a bike ride starting at 9:15 a.m. from the entrance to Barton Springs Pool. The bike will be on your own, with other athletes there, but will not be a supported bike ride. You are fully responsible for bringing your own supplies necessary for the ride. The ride will be however long you are planning to go that day and wherever you would like to ride. It's a great opportunity to ride with others and you can make your own decision on routes.
Please note: We typically don't swim if there's been a large rain storm prior to the morning of the swim, if there is thunder/lightning in the immediate area or the temperatures are EXTREMELY below freezing (ex: low 20's). Make the call for yourself in terms of weather as we will not be posted updates on this workout being cancelled. It's completely informal and your own personal decision.
You can also check the status of Barton Springs being open (when large amounts of rain or flooding has occurred) by calling their main phone line: 476-9044
