So, this isn't directed towards the staff, but I'm just a bit angry. I came to go swimming with my sister and her family. and I wear swim pants, I've always worn swim pants, they are the correct material and I know , swim pants. Well as I'm going into the pool, the lifeguard says I can not enter the pool. No pants in the pool. I even asked her like "these are swim pants?" And she said nope. So I went up to the counter and asked about there swim pants policy, and they looked confused and offered me to wear shorts, that they could provide. Which isn't the point. The point is, it's literally pants, swim pants-yes I'm crashing out a little bit- because what about religious people's swimwear? What about other people who choose to wear swim shirts, or swim pants like I'm sorry I'm so confused. Like genuinely. Does not make any sense to me.

The personal is nice and kind. Also the price is affordable. Outside the parking is very clean. The trees make shade for my car i loved it. Also thank you for letting us bring our lunch to the pool, but ofc we had to clean it. Just one bad thing, the pool was not very clean. There was lots of bugs and beetles. Everything else was nice. I'm sure we will be back!

Great pool, warm water, quite a bit of shade and plenty of parking. Bonus, it's in Denver Park and rec so we get in free.
