In the middle of the city of Austin is this huge pool. It costs $3 to go in (for the whole day) - the water is pleasant all year round and you're outdoors, in a stream with pool amenities and big trees all around. It's cool and super clean. If you don't want to pay the $3, just go on the other side of the fence and you can swim in the same water, and get your feet in the muck.
