However, wearing a speedo to Barton Springs and strategically posing by the entrance steps is a good move, regardless of the standard of judgment you use.</p> http://austinist.com/2007/07/13/barton_springs.php#comment-1146764 http://austinist.com/2007/07/13/barton_springs.php#comment-1146764 Comments Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:58:00 -0600 <p>I was out at Twin Falls last Saturday. I know it's not the same location but it's the same waterway. It was about a foot higher than it has been recently and it was moving pretty fast but it was safe for adults to swim in. I'm sure by now it has calmed down a lot. Note to others: Body surfing rapids downstream from Twin Falls only SEEMS like a good idea. There are large rocks under those high waters. I've got scars to prove it...</p> http://austinist.com/2007/07/13/barton_springs.php#comment-1146742 http://austinist.com/2007/07/13/barton_springs.php#comment-1146742 Comments Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:41:34 -0600 <p>Great, Barton Springs Pool is open again! Does anyone know if Sculpture Falls is safe for swimming?</p>
