Where to go Swimming
Town Park
The Telluride Community Pool is open late May to early September and is $4 for adults, $2 for children 4-17 and free for children under 3.
There are also popular swimming holes along the San Miguel River in Town Park, but be ready for some chilly water. Always make sure the water isn’t moving too fast, however, as runoff in can make the water dangerous in May and June.
Mountain Village
Many of the resorts have indoor and/or outdoor pools and accept walk-ins. The Peaks Resort and Spa has a indoor and outdoor pool and Telluride’s only waterslide. Call ahead to make sure the pool is open to the public during peak seasons.
