The swimming area at Lake Tejas may have anywhere from 1 to 5 trained Lifeguards on duty at any given time according to the volume of  swimmers. These guards are Red Cross trained in both CPR and First aide as well as professionally trained in water rescue.

    The swimming area has approximately 70 yards of sandy beach with plenty of  room to run and play and a buoyed swimming area large enough to accommodate all levels of swimming ability. From the total novice to the advanced swimmer, there is plenty of fun for the entire family. And with rentable inner tubes you can float out away from the chaos on the beach to find your own private place to tan and socialize.
