Unfortunately, no. The Texas Pool is a historic swimming pool that was built in 1961. There are bathrooms at the facility but no changing rooms or lockers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

You are welcome to bring outside food and drinks to the Texas Pool. Pack a picnic lunch for your family or bring burgers to cook on our gas grills. Not sure what to cook for dinner? Pizza delivered to the pool is perfect for a summer evening!<\/p>\n

Alcohol and glass containers are not allowed at the Texas Pool.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

The Texas Pool is a 168,000-gallon saltwater pool with a shallow \u201cSouth Texas\u201d wading area for small children, a 10-foot-deep \u201cPanhandle\u201d and a \u201cNorth Texas\u201d island. Guests can swim from Houston to El Paso in about 3 to 4 feet of water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

The Texas Pool lifeguards will ask everyone to leave the water for 15 minutes if there is thunder and 30 minutes if there is lightning in the area. The pool may close early or open late if the forecast calls for continuous thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

The Texas Pool’s lifeguards periodically conduct head counts and during peak hours may place the “Pool At Capacity” sign at the front gate for safety reasons. Members, guests, and visitors are allowed in on a first-come, first-serve basis as others leave. The pool’s capacity limit can vary based on staffing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

Unfortunately, the Texas Pool is not able to offer swimming lessons this summer due to staffing challenges. We hope to bring back our swim lesson program soon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n
