The Piney Creek swimming pool is the focal point of summer activity. Each year the pool opens over the Memorial Day weekend in May and closes
at the end of the Labor Day weekend in September. The Piney Creek Recreational Association hires a professional pool management company to provide lifeguards for the pool. Swim lessons are provided via
contracts between the individual homeowner and the lifeguard staff (303-690-4668, in season). There are several sessions during the summer season. Arrangements for swim lessons must be made through the
lifeguard staff. Typically, swim lesson information is published in the April / May / June Piney Creek Chronicle newsletter, distributed in May.
You must have an electronic keycard to enter the pool. You must be a member of the Piney Creek Recreational Association to receive a keycard. In the event that you have not obtained a keycard, you may request one from the Clubhouse office.
