Like to go tubing down a south central Texas river? Most of our swimmers and divers made the short trip up to Gruene, Texas, late yesterday morning so that they could go tubing together on the scenic Guadalupe River.
The weather was pleasant throughout the early part of the afternoon, and the ride was relatively quiet and quite enjoyable. A couple of stops along the way to swing on ropes hanging off some of the tall cypress trees that line the Guadalupe’s shore gave some of the team a chance to show their stuff. There were also several short stretches of rapids, which livened things up a bit as our swimmers and divers meandered their way towards New Braunfels. Things got even livelier near the end of the day, as a storm blew in and the team was treated to some torrential rain and some strong winds – an amazing experience!
After exiting the river at the Rockin’ R’s pick-up point, the team returned to Gruene and then headed for Rudy’s Bar-B-Que in New Braunfels to chub on grub before heading back to San Antonio. They were on the T.U. campus before 6:00 pm, which still left everyone with some play time Saturday night.
The time spent tubing was fun and the ‘team bonding’ made the experience even better.
