If you're not a member it's only like $15 for adults and $10 for kids, so very good price for an afternoon of fun! They have a wave pool that goes off every 20mins, a whirlpool, lazy river and slide! The water was a great temperature too! The kids played for 2hrs and were wore out the rest of the day! They do limit how many people enter at a time so if you don't show up at opening you might wait a bit but we loved that! Nothing was crowded, never felt too close to everyone and the lifeguards were very attentive making us feel safe! I came here as a kid before it was the YMCA and I remember how much fun it was but definitely got over crowded. This time it was just as much fun but felt more calm! Highly recommend to everyone!

The Y near my house doesn't ask and the Y I went to in NJ didn't ask so I don't understand: The water I found was on the cold side. It's Colorado and we have a short season so why not have warmer water. Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm getting old but I was freezing. There's a water slide they turn on when the wave pool isn't running and vice versa. I don't know why not both but whatever. I enjoyed the company I was with but living over an hour away means it's unlikely I will be back

Even though it's a very small strip of sand surrounding the lake, it's definitely enough to call it a beach. I saw a few people walking barefoot on the sand part but most were on paddle boards and kayaks. And for those who don't want to go near or into the water you can bring your own chair, sit under a tree and read a book and chill. It looks like Prospect Park/Beach has it all and I'm so lucky I discovered it! I'm definitely coming back soon.

We are back for our third summer swimming at PPA! This past year, my children have stepped up…read moretheir game and have become competitive swimmers. They qualified for Junior Olympics and Far Western, which if you are from the west coast puts them into the top 8 and 6% of swimmers nationwide with double A and triple A times. In preparation for these Championship meets, they really wanted to come back to Colorado Springs and work with Coach Anna and swim with the PPA team. Coach Anna is amazing! She is warm and caring and she is such a great coach that it is such a privilege for them to work with her and to be part of the team. This year, they competed with them at the Falfins meet at the Air Force Academy and my boys had a great time. I love how their team mates cheered each other on and how Anna spent the time to provide quality feedback to all the children. At the end of the meet, my sons placed in all 6-8 of their events and even had some personal bests which allowed them to qualify for additional JO and Far Western events. This week, my eldest is taking part in their five day competitive camp. He really wanted to sign up for it, but was nervous since he didn't know anyone. After the first day he was all smiles. Some of the same children who he competed with at the Falfins meet were there and so he had a ready made crew of like minded swimmers. He also told me that he got to meet an Olympic swimmer and he got to touch her gold medal. He said they filmed their dives/starts and viewing the underwater videos to help him to see areas where he could improve. So far, it has been really valuable and he was up early the next day eager to head back to camp. We enrolled my younger son in their four day FUN-damentals Camp at the end of the month. He is excited because he sees how much fun his brother is having. All in all, we are thrilled to be part of PPA. Coach Anna has created such a wonderful swim environment and we feel privileged to be part of it. Thank you Coach Anna for being so welcoming to us! And thank you Joselyn for helping us to enroll in the camps and the swim team practices. It has become such an important part of our children's swim training and we are really grateful!

We are visiting Colorado Springs for the summer and I thought it would be great to enroll my sons…read morein some extra swimming lessons. I found Pikes Peak Athletics by googling "swim summer camps" and I found they had a pre-competitive swim program for children ages 7 and up - perfect for my boys. I called them and Courtney at the front desk was so kind, patient and helpful. She scheduled and performed an evaluation the next day and then immediately enrolled them into classes. The facilities were beautiful and obviously geared towards serious swimmers. My boys were placed into the pre-competitive swim class called base camp. It is at the same time as the swim team practices, you could sense the camaraderie between the coaches and swimmers and you could see what fantastic swimmers the PPAs produces. My boys were initially intimidated by such a large facility. However, the instructors specifically Quintin McCarty, Chance and Brian were so kind and welcoming that they immediately felt at ease. The sessions are 45 mins long and the instructors are really focused on technique and form. What impressed me most was how much personal coaching they gave my sons- especially Quintin. After one week, I can already see huge improvements in my boys' freestyle, butterfly and diving - and of course endurance. I feel so fortunate to have found such a great facility and my boys love going there! Thanks for being so welcoming to us and for having such a dedicated group of instructors. And thank you again Courtney for organizing the schedule to maximize the time with the instructors while we are here in Colorado. You are awesome!

The environment is likely *supposed* to be 80-82 degrees, but the door to the facility was left open, so every time somebody entered down the hall, the cold air came straight in to the lesson area. This was most noticeable AFTER our lesson when we were all wet and felt pretty cold despite the heat being on. I'd recommend putting a changing table or pad in a private space on the floor for people with infants to feel comfortable changing themselves while their baby is safely on the floor and not at risk of falling off of a high surface. Additionally, a robe or extra towel doesn't solve my issue of not being able to change myself AND my baby while alone. Thanks for the update, maybe we will try a different facility for next time and see if that will work better.
