Ouray Hot Springs Pool

Ouray, CO, UNITED STATES

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Reviews

I have had the pleasure to swim in the Ouray pool on many occasions. Most of the people enjoying the water were not competitive swimmers, and enjoy it we did. There are distinct areas in which to swim or soak as the water temperature differs from one area to another, in other words, temperatures for every taste.
A lovely facility with panoramic mountain views. Bring quarters for the lockers. On a July Sunday, the waterslides were open from 12-6. Ice cream and basic snacks are sold and patrons can rent towels and buy swim gear. All of the pools are large and the adult-only pool was very peaceful.

Be mindful of the weather—lightning will close the pool for 30 minutes. You can get a pass to return another day if you've been there for less than two hours, but there are absolutely no refunds.

This is an amazing facility with multiple pools and a lap pool that is big. On a Saturday in July around 3 PM the parking lot was pretty much full, although there is room along the road for overflow. Given the parking lot I expected there to be a shortage of lockers but that was not the case. Don't worry about quarters because they do have a change machine. The dressing room is not fancy (basic public pool) but seemed clean. There were lanes open for lap swimming despite the crowd. The staff at the gate were friendly and you should be sure to notice the freezer of frozen ice cream treats (bunny ice cream bars, so good quality). Be aware of the propensity for late afternoon thunderstorms (fairly common in the Colorado mountains). I would like to see what it is like in the winter. You can buy beach towels for $10 but I would suggest bringing your own.
