Deep Eddy Pool is a historic swimming pool located in Austin, Texas. As the oldest swimming pool in the state, it offers visitors a chance to enjoy its spring-fed waters and experience a piece of Texas history. The pool, originally a swimming hole in the Colorado River, was transformed into a resort in the 1920s and is now operated by the City of Austin. With its iconic bathhouse built during the Depression-era, Deep Eddy Pool continues to be a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

Thanks to the efforts of Friends of Deep Eddy, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the pool, Deep Eddy now boasts a new well system that ensures ample water flow and consistent temperature. This project, completed in May 2019, was made possible through the support of various donors and grants. With its rich history and commitment to providing a cool and clear swimming experience, Deep Eddy Pool remains a beloved landmark in Austin.
