Indoor Pool, Outdoor Pool & Water Features

What the Published Pool Schedule Includes

How to Check the Right Swim Time

1. Open the official Fruita pool schedule.
2. Check its effective dates to ensure it covers your visit.
3. Find the activity you want: lap swim, open swim, slide or water aerobics.
4. Check any swim-lesson closure periods.
5. Remember the indoor pool closes 30 minutes before the building.
6. Call 970-858-0360 if a feature is essential to your visit.

Swimming Safety Rules for Children

Fruita has specific age and swimming supervision rules:

• Children younger than 10 must be accompanied by a guardian aged 16 or older at all times in the center.
• Children aged six or younger must have an adult in the water within arm’s reach.
• The center uses an American Red Cross swim test to determine whether children can safely use certain aquatic features.
• The test includes entering the water, floating or treading water for one minute, locating the exit and swimming 25 yards without assistance.
• Water slides, climbing walls and diving features may close due to staff decisions or operating conditions.

Parent tip: Do not assume a passing swim test replaces the supervision requirement for young children. Ask lifeguards which features your child may use.
