Arriving late for a scheduled swim reservation is allowed, but any swimming time missed will be forfeited. Each reservation guarantees a two-hour time slot for swimming.

No refunds or rain checks are given for inclement weather or flooding events and once reservations are created, they are not transferrable and cannot be canceled.
Jacob’s Well releases thousands of gallons of water every day from the Trinity Aquifer which comes from an extensive underground cave system, according to Hays County Parks officials.
The deepest part of the cavern system is 140 feet deep and the main cavern length is 4,341 feet in length.
