Deep Eddy Pool is an Austin institution! I spent many years at deep Eddie pool with family, friends…read moreand colleagues. It's nothing like swimming on a hot summer day. Your first impression of the pool will probably be wow it's large with so many lanes and many areas where you can just swim or float to your hearts content. Another impression might be and it was especially for me the bright blue water of the pool. It looks refreshing, cool, and inviting. Deep Eddiy pool has a oblong shape typical of large pools of its size. The pool has architecturally clean lines with precise corners. When you stand on the pool platform the vastness of the pool rushes to the forefront. Everytime I stick my foot in the water of the Deep Eddy pool, that cool refreshing feeling envelopes my body. Entry fees are very reasonable and can beas low as $2 per day. Paid parking is available in front of the pool and on the street. Nice relaxing self-care day...

Ok if you're desperate for some water…read more The water was crisp and cool even on a 99° day in August Half the pool is designated for swimming laps. There are no lounge chairs so bring a blanket for the ground and expect it to get dirty because people have to sit in the grass/dirt. There are a few trees for shade. No alcohol or food/drink allowed. I brought in my water bottle and no one said anything so I guess water is ok There is a parking lot but you must pay to park and it gets filled quickly Bike trails lead up to it Locker rooms are half indoor/half outdoor and rather dingy. Several lifeguards on duty. periodically they make everyone get out of the pool for 5 min (one an hour?) There needs to be someone skimming the pool throughout the day..there's a ton of bugs/leaves that get in the water. Also, since people lounge on the dirt lawn, everyone's feet are dirty when getting in the pool. The pool ropes had some sort of black sludge caked into them. It was pretty gross. $5 for an adult. Free for veterans.

Only thing to note is : "Prohibited items include all food, glass, alcohol, and snacks to reduce litter and pests." Water is cool all year, refreshing in the spring & summer and it's overall just a great spot to be!

Super fun place to hang out, especially on a hot Austin day. Once you get to the pool (which is a…read morebit of a walk from the parking lot in the midday heat), you can cool off in the spring water and spend a very leisurely few hours poking around, swimming laps, jumping off the board, whatever. It's great to see everyone peacefully enjoying themselves and there are lots of life guards. All ages, from young families with kids, to teenagers, bikinis, and older folks, too. I thought the water was a great temp, at least on that hot 90-something degree day. This was a Tuesday later in the afternoon and there were a lot of bathers but it didn't feel crowded. There was a lot of construction and temporary fencing, I hope it looks great when they're done. $5 for Austinites, $9 for out-of-towners. I'm not sure but there looked like another way to access the pool from the other side to the main entrance, not sure if there's a pay gate on that side, too.

I highly recommend Athan Pool and would use them again without hesitation. They are men of their…read moreword and my pool is proof! Major construction projects are always a hassle and headache BUT Athena Pools removed all those worries. I love my pool and so do my kids. Jeff and Nate are true professionals in their craft! Engineers by trait and it shows by there renderings and how the finished product came out. I've had zero issues months later and only have the highest praise.

Jeff is an exceptional pool builder. He spent serveral weeks with us going back and forth to…read moreachieve the optimal design for our desires. He managed to maximize our space (odd shaped back yard) giving us what we wanted: A large pool with a substantial play area and a long lap lane for exercise purposes. Most importantly, he made sure that we had solid engineering construction for our pool size (about 33K gallons, ~170 linear feet), strongly recommending a double mat rebar construction with 12 inch walls. Nobody else even mentioned that. When I asked other pool builders, I was told "not to worry about it". Well, I'd rather spend the extra money up front than dealing with a cracked pool shell later. He even commissioned an engineering survey to confirm before breaking ground. The equipment is top notch. Pool pump and heater are working beautifully giving us the clearest water we've ever seen in a pool while maintaining the temp at 80 degrees when needed. We were guided expertly through the materials process and features (plastering, tile, travertine, water features, autofill) to achieve the end result we wanted. He also recommended a great pool maintenance company that takes care of all our ongoing needs. He was responsive throughout and supervised the pool building from start to finish. He made sure everything was done to our satisfaction down to the smallest detail.

I would never hire Westbank Pools to build another pool. I am stuck with a major crack and an…read moreapparently worthless warranty. The pool started leaking and crack was confirmed and reported to Westbank in September 2025. As of the date of this review, (March 2026), Westbank has failed to honor their warranty with a permanent repair. Despite representations, repair crews never arrive as promised and only excuses blaming third parties are offered for the failure to do so. If you are looking for a quality pool builder willing to stand behind their work, go elsewhere. If you are considering Westbank Pools, beware and think twice.

One star could change…read more.. We have been trying to connect with someone from Westbank Pools for the last 2 weeks, but no one has called us back. We need to rebuild our pool, and based on the experience of two close families whose pools were installed by Westbank, they come recommended. However, if this lack of response is any indication of service, we have reservations. We'd sure appreciate a phone call.

Richard at Trinity Pools is such a rockstar. We interviewed 6 pool builders and he was the clear…read morewinner. He's built 100s of pools in Austin, has some deep connections with the city permitting and building department, and knows all the right people and sub-contractors. He built our pool in just over 12 weeks. An absolute record time in the pandemic/construction rush. I recently went to get some chemicals at the pool store they seriously didn't believe me. Most of their customers have been sitting with layout lines in their backyard for more than 6 months. This is all on top of superb quality. Top-of-the-line pool equipment and paster were all included in the base price, he only uses the best. Rich also knows how to run a business. Always answers his phone, always lets you know what's up, on the job site virtually every day. It was a stress-free and wonderful experience. This is the guy to build your pool.

A beautiful and modern pool!…read more We've been on a long journey to renovate our pool. Long "prelude" short, the first company we hired destroyed our existing pool. Every subsequent contractor we interviewed stated they'd never seen such damage. One wouldn't touch it, another would not guarantee the work and others offered to simply fill it in. Needless to say that we were dismayed. Along came a recommendation from a long time friend (thank you Michael Curlee) who connected us with Richard Ginsberg owner of Trinity Pools and Scapes. Richard is a no nonsense type of person who rips off the band aid with care! He understood our view and was confident that he could get us back to enjoying our days in the pool and evenings in the spa. Working with Richard was a refreshing experience. Demolition began as soon as the permits were approved. Like clockwork, subs came and went without any stoppages. The crews worked tirelessly including Saturdays and sometimes in the rain. Richard knowing that we were fresh from a horrible experience, kept us informed throughout the process. We appreciated his patience as we worked through the selections and yes, one design change which is what happens while one waits on the City for permits...more ideas spring up! We've been enjoying our pool for about a week now and we couldn't be happier with the result. You'll be as thankful as we are for hiring him!
