Swimming Pools

GCC Leisure Pool SlideThe Golden Community Center offers two indoor swimming pools for patrons–a leisure pool and a lap pool–and a hot tub, which holds up to 12 people.

The leisure pool is a favorite of Golden families, featuring a 150 ft. spiral water slide and other interactive play areas for kids of different ages. The depth of the pool ranges from 0″ to 3’6″.

The adjacent lap pool is 25 meters long, and features 6 lanes. The depth of the lap pool ranges from 3’6″ to 12′, and a diving board is available.
