When Lakeway resident Christopher Levy was a teen in the Houston area, he said he’d frequent his neighborhood pool at The Woodlands Athletic Center, spending long, summer afternoons getting exercise and visiting with friends. His family’s life centered around the facility, with his mother serving as a judge for diving competitions.
“It was just one of the few things that you could do in the summer that you weren’t miserable (due to the heat),” Levy said. “I made a lot of friendships there.”
After moving to Lakeway, Levy said he was struck by the city’s lack of a community pool, forcing him to shelter from the heat at the lake or public swimming holes.
