Excellent! Thanks for letting us know it was helpful for you.
Wow! I didn’t know about the aquatic complex at Gregory Gym. It looks amazing!
Thanks for the informatio about Barton Springs Pool. I want to go, probably once we finish finals.
Absolutely! Sounds like a good idea.
I didn’t know about the aquatic complex at Gregory Gym either. Looks cool!
I went to Barton Spring yesterday. The water was cold and cool enough to help me to be out of hot weather. Thank you for the useful information, Jack!
