Swimming in Boulder

Whether you want to practice your backstroke or just cool off, we've got the perfect places to enjoy swimming in Boulder. The Boulder Reservoir is a favorite among locals and visitors for boating, swimming and sunbathing on the beach. And tubing in Boulder Creek is very relaxing during summer months. The City of Boulder operates five community/recreation centers that offer indoor and outdoor pools, some with lazy rivers, water slides and/or lap pools.

Boulder Falls is not a swimming spot (but does make for a refreshing visit).
