This New Year tradition reportedly started in 1920 with a Canadian swimming group. Now, many people embrace the activity for health benefits, camaraderie, and the thrill.
"I just do it because it’s kind of crazy, it’s fun to convince people to come and I just really enjoy the cold water feeling," Austin resident Jadin Crane said.Bill Bunch, the executive director of Save Our Springs Alliance, said they’ve been working 30 years to protect Barton Springs to ensure events like this continue.
"We’ve managed to encourage protection of over 30 thousand acres of watershed upstream and help limit the pumping, so the springs don’t go dry during the drought," Bunch said. If you didn’t get to take the plunge on Sunday, Barton Springs is free to swim in until the end of February.that I have read and agree
