With the steady sizzling heat here in Denver, I thought a list of swimming holes might be appropriate...most of these places require a fee but to beat the heat...why not? Also, you can check out Denver Parks and Recreation for a list of local rec center pools.
(Disclaimer: Please always use caution and awareness when swimming in rivers/creeks; check that it is safe)
Apex Park and Recreation Facilities
Aurora Reservoir
Bear Creek Lake Park
Boulder Reservoir
Boulder Creek(you can tube down this section also...but beware of unpleasant butt bruises! A lot of rocks. :)
Cherry Creek State Park
Chatfield State Park
Confluence Park
(this seems to be more of an unofficial swimming hole but there are usually people kayaking and playing in the water here, behind REI. However, I don't know how clean the water is here....)
Elitch Gardens
Pirates Cove
Water World
Your local Recreation Center!
