Aquatics Division Barton Springs Pool Repair Work November 25, 2024 1 Increasing Safe Access to Water • Is Mission Critical for PARD • How we do it • Recruitment & Training • Maintenance • Program Enrollment 2 Barton Spring Pool Brief History • Grouping of four Springs, 4th largest in Texas and used by Indigenous people for thousands of years • 1928 – Approval and work on the dam • 1930 – Sidewalks and retaining walls • 1947 – Bathhouse opens • 1969 – Recommendation of bypass • 1975 – Bypass tunnel built • 1997 - Salamander Protection • 1998 – SPLASH opened 3 Flooding • You can't tell the story of Austin without talking about flooding, and Barton Springs is no exception. • Over the years, major flooding events have occurred frequently, often threatening existing infrastructure and requiring repairs. • These recurring floods not only cause immediate damage but can also affect the long-term stability and integrity of our infrastructure. 4 Damage Discovered August 29, 2024 • During routine maintenance and cleaning, a small hole was discovered in the aging infrastructure, causing suction and creating potential entrapment conditions. • Pool entrapment is a life-threatening hazard where a person or object can become stuck in the suction of a pool, most commonly a drain. • For public safety, Barton Springs Pool was immediately closed and PARD began working with Watershed Protection to develop a repair plan. 5 Damages on August 31, 2024 • Within two days, the small holes had merged into one larger hole as the suction continued to erode the aging infrastructure. • Efforts to patch the hole and safely reopen the pool using past methods were unsuccessful. • Numerous unforeseen complications made this repair process more challenging than anticipated. 6 Identified Challenges & Solutions Salamander Protection Water levels and damage location Limited access inside the pool Materials used for repair Reopen as soon as possible 8 9 Getting to Work Under the management of Watershed Protection, the contractor began mobilization on September 13 and completed the work by September 14. A concrete plug was installed in the pipe from Dog Beach up through the dam, providing a long-term solution that effectively eliminates the risk of recurrence. Barton Springs remained closed for a few additional days to allow the concrete to fully cure. During that time, PARD also took the opportunity to re-sod areas of the south side …

Project SAFE is an aquatic safety education and swim training program provided to the Austin Independent School District by the City of Austin’s Aquatic Division. Each spring, students are invited to their nearby City of Austin-operated aquatic facility for a two-week long learn-to-swim session. Each day, participants will get an opportunity to engage in curriculums approved by the internationally recognized Starfish Aquatics Institute. It is the City's hope that participation in the program leads to greater water safety practices among the participants. At the conclusion of the program, registration information will be provided for students to continue their learning by participating in additional City of Austin Parks and Recreation programs. The City and AISD entered into an agreement in 2005 relating to an educational program known as the GO PROJECT that is a community-based transition program for students with disabilities who are 18-22 years of age and that enables students to move beyond the high school setting and finish their education in a college or work environment. The City provides facilities for AISD's use in providing such classes to the identified students and is interested in continuing to do this. As the current agreement in almost 20 years old, the City wants to revisit and refresh the agreement to better meet all needs.
