Rec Center Pool Schedules

At this time, the Recreation Center pools and spa will be closed with Anderson Pool's opening on May 27th due to a lifeguard staffing shortage (Learn more about the Nationwide Lifeguard Shortage in this Gazette article written by our Aquatics Supervisor, Barb Kloberdanz). All Aqua Exercise classes will also be moved to Anderson Pool until further notice. View the summer 2023 aqua exercise schedule here (PDF).

See the Anderson Pool schedule here.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are hopeful that we will be able to hire enough lifeguards for the summer season to open up some availability at the Rec Center Pools.

We are looking to hire AT LEAST 50 more lifeguards this season, and have both part time Head and Regular Lifeguards as well as Full-Time Head Lifeguard positions available.

New, seasonal lifeguard hires (not Full-Time Head Lifeguards) are eligible for some amazing perks:

$300 sign on bonus for new hires signed on by July 1st
$100 end of season bonus for new hires
Free facility passes to the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, Anderson Building & Pool, and Active Adult Center (taxable benefit)
Scholarship opportunity
Free training and certification for eligible lifeguard candidates

Note: Hours and capacity may vary based on staffing issues. Please call the Rec Center front desk at (303) 231-1300 to confirm hours before your visit.
