Starting this week, Barton Springs Pool will reopen Wednesdays, returning the wildly popular swimming pool to full operational hours. The pool is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. with lifeguards, and 5-8 a.m without lifeguards. The exception is Thursdays, when the pool closes from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for its regularly scheduled weekly cleaning. Speaking of lifeguards … the city’s Aquatic Division continues to seek lifeguards to staff and operate the city’s summertime pools. Pay ranges from $16-$19/hour and includes signing bonuses, paid sick leave, free bus passes and flexible scheduling. Find more details and apply at LifeguardAustin.com.
