Splash Across Texas is as refreshing as a dip into Barton Springs. As a lifelong connoisseur of Texas swimming holes, I love this book for its memories and information. It recalls the years when swimming was not only a joy but a necessity in torrid Texas summers. The reader is reminded that swimming holes held off Hell until air-conditioning arrived. There is no joy like a swimming hole, even with a bathing suit on.
Kirk Watson, Mayor of Austin
Splash Across Texas answers the hot summer time lament: Where do I go to cool off? But that's not all. There are fascinating bits of history and ideas about what to do when you're refreshed enough to go exploring. The book bolsters Austin's national ranking as the top aquatics program in the country and our claim to the title, the Oasis of Texas. So, take a deep breath and dive in. Immerse yourself with ideas. Then get out of the house and enjoy.
