Please follow the rules so that we continue to have access to pools. The volunteers at CW work really hard to find pools and convince them to let us practice, it would be a shame for someone to ruin it for everyone.
- Enter directly to the pool deck through the side doors next to the flagpole.
- When you arrive, please show proof of payment to the lifeguard on duty if they ask for it (phone screen receipt is fine). If you haven't paid online, walk around to the front desk and pay in person.
- Please rinse your boat on the pool deck before entering the water.
- DO NOT SEAL LAUNCH FROM THE TILE! This pool does not have a metal edge but it has a huge flat concrete gutter. Seal launching from the tile will break or rip off tiles and will very quickly make us not invited back. Instead, place your boat sideways in the gutter (or in the water next to the gutter if you want to test your balance!), then get in, then scootch into the water.
- The building closes at 4pm so you and your boat must also be out of the building by 4pm. The lifeguards might give you some leeway if you help put the lane lines back at the end of the session.
Did you know this pool session happens because of Colorado Whitewater volunteers and staff?
Colorado Whitewater works every year to ensure pool sessions are available around the state. For every session that happens we usually need to talk to 3-4 pools to find one who will work with boaters. This requires hours of meetings and negotiations. If you'd like to support us, you can become a member of the club, or a give a donation using the form below. Thanks!
