Review

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. -- Kirk Watson, Mayor of Austin

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. -- Cactus Pryor testimonial

This is a very cool book. I had no idea there was so much history about Texas swimming. Great old pictures, tons of information, fascinating stories. Chandra Beal's enthusiasm for this subject really shows. First rate reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars A "stream" of information on places to swim in Texas!, October 11, 2000
By A Customer
This book is filled with information on Central Texas Aquatic Resources. If you're looking for a guide to find the most lucrative waters to suit your mood, this is it! The author gives in-depth information on pools, watering holes, natural springs & rivers, water theme parks, and lakes. I found the author to be very knowledgeable by way of giving the reader detailed insights on each particular place to swim. Having done her share of swimming as her favorite pastime, the author's enthusiasm for pools really shows, which makes it an interesting read vying to keep the reader afloat!
