New Braunfels' premier fitness destination, Das Rec, is tweaking its hours for the Memorial Day, keeping its doors open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 27 for the city dwellers looking to squeeze in a holiday workout or a splash in the pool. Announced on the city's official website, these shortened hours are meant to honor the federal holiday while still providing access to amenities for residents and their families.
Eager swimmers can take a dive in the competition pool from the early hours of 8 a.m. till 4:30 p.m., or luxuriate in the leisure pool which offers up an exercise swim block between 8 a.m. and noon, followed by open swim until 4:30 p.m. Considering the holiday, these timings present a perfect escape from the Texas heat for both lap swimmers and splash-loving kiddos.
