Check out the public lap swim hours on their website before visiting. The main downside is that there's only 4 shared auxiliary swim lanes available in the evenings for Apex members. And the family (gender-shared) locker rooms are a little gross, especially the showers later in the day. Love that the pools are heated though, making it a great, accessible workout option in the Colorado winters.

They have a lap pool and they also have a warmer pool that includes a lazy river and a couple of lap lanes, along with the children's play area. We were there on a weekday afternoon well swim lessons were going on, but had plenty of space to use one lap lane and the lazy river. They have a set of steps to enter by the lazy river and they have a chairlift that enters into one of the lanes. There's also a hot tub that has steps with a rail to get in. In the family locker room there are two accessible changing rooms with a bathroom and shower, including a shower bench and adjustable showerhead. They have an automatic door opener, which is phenomenal, however, the lock is up pretty high, which makes it less accessible for wheelchair users, and short people. there are two other changing rooms in the family locker space that don't have the automatic button, adjustable showerhead, or shower bench, or grab bars on the toilet, but are still fairly large and have space for a wheelchair user There was plenty of accessible parking and automatic doors to get into the building. The space exiting was pretty tight due to how they have the chairs arranged, somebody with a larger wheelchair may have to exit through the entry lane. We also used the steam room, there was no automatic door, but the door wasn't terribly heavy. We've been to lots of rec centers in the Denver Metro area, and this is definitely one of the most accessible

This summer camp has gone way down hill and unfortunately the management of the childcare program…read moredoesn't seem to care. The managers are not on site, and rarely, if ever, visited the location last summer. We have gone to camp here for four consecutive summers. Previously the summer camp was AMAZING. Under the care of Ms Isabel, who unfortunately left in June of 2024, the camp was well run, the campers and staff all seemed happy, and for kids like my son who have more difficulty in social settings, they did a great job with accommodations. We recruited all of our friends to join us at the camp, and things rapidly fell apart. Fast forward to Summer of 2024 after Isabel left, the camp was a disaster. I was able to leave with my kids without telling anyone, they rarely had the sign out system that worked so no one knew who was able to pick up the kids anyway. Our friends pulled their kids from camp after severe bullying and our kids were out in 100+ degree heat for hours several days a week having unorganized time. Just recently, as we were trying to make a pivot for out of school days to another option, my son was "lost" for an hour before anyone realized he wasn't in his group. He was sent home for going inside because his counselor couldn't find him. When I was called they told me he wandered outside but in reality he went inside and sat by the managers office for an hour before anyone approached him. The next day he was forced to play a game (he's autistic and noise is an issue for him and we have accommodations in place for this sort of thing) or told that he would have to be picked up by me. He was hit from behind and hit the floor, ultimately breaking his front two teeth. When I was called, the counselor made it seem like no big deal and told me he "may have chipped a tooth" which in actuality resulted in emergency dental surgery. Long story short, this will cost us thousands of dollars, and I can't even get an email back from the YMCA to see what next steps are, or to cancel my membership. Other friends have been tempted to call CPS due to the lack of regard these young counselors have for the kids. They may be affordable for camp, but with the sign up just around the corner, I needed to say my piece. I don't feel safe with my kids at this location and can't imagine they will get it together in time for summer with the amount of competent adults they have lost over the years.

Do not bring your special needs children here, especially if they are on a waiver, it has been a…read moreliteral nightmare. My son is 5 and has level 3 autism. He's on a government waiver that pays for his swim safety classes, which British Swim School knew about and claimed to have experience with. I PERSONALLY paid registration to Eliza, who enrolled us, to get him in and the government took over from there. Mind you, I'm supposed to be reimbursed for the registration fee and any additional funds from a $1000 check from the government. When I mentioned it to Eliza she stopped communicating with me. So my son missed swim class twice, once because of croup and the next weekend his dad tested positive for Covid. I followed all procedures and emailed and texted BSS. I actually called the hotel as well because it was short notice and I wanted everyone to know. The owner Nikki eventually called me and accuse my son of missing his first class too, so 3 in total, which was wrong and I corrected her on. The school literally took his picture on his first day. Then she has the audacity to say the same thing to my sons waiver case manager, who then expressed to me how rude Nikki was to him. This was my email to BSS after speaking with the case manager. "Hello, I just spoke with Elan, and he mentioned that Nikki complained about Lincoln missing two session. Lincoln had croup one week (could have been Covid we didn't test him) and the following week his dad tested positive for Covid. I would never bring a sick child into swim lessons and expose other children, so he missed those two sessions only. And I emailed and texted both times and I called the hotel to make sure everyone was informed about the Covid situation. Nikki then called me under the impression that Lincoln had missed his first session as well, which was incorrect, and I feel like because of that presumption and the funds issue, I have not been treated well by her. I understand there was an issue with the payment, which has been rectified, and I had zero control over; however, I do not understand the continued complaint about my sick child missing swim lessons. Please tell me what I should do differently if Lincoln is sick or exposed to Covid? This is not at all what I expected when I talked with Eliza about enrolling my special needs child at British Swim School. Amber Houghton" I posted a review here just like this one and Nikki called me extremely apologetic and wanting to make up the classes he my son had missed FINALLY. Then she did it again tonight. We were discussing additional classes and the payments and the registration fee. She told me she hasn't been paid as of yet by the government (again, they told me they've worked with these programs before) and that she can refund the registration fee when she received it from the government. I corrected her and let her know I paid out of pocket for the registration and my card should be on file. She responded with, "No card on file." I then responded with a screenshot of my confirmation email with my debit card number attached and on file. The amount of discrimination and disrespect is staggering. And I have all the emails and texts to prove it. I wanted to continue to see the swim instructor Sophia because she's amazing and I would gladly pay out of pocket, but instead I'll be canceling every session we have. Thank you Sophia, you were incredible. Nikki, you should be ashamed of yourself. And from what I can see from other reviews I'm not the only special needs parent having these issues.

It's also got a deep end so the kids can learn to dive, something our kids hadn't been able to do in some other Lakewood pools. When we had to reschedule or cancel lessons, Jaime the manager was always very friendly and flexible, offering convenient make up lessons, etc.

The last time I came here was over 10 years ago and it is completely revamped. Karyn and Kim were super helpful in getting me started on how the membership works and allowing me to walk around to check out the space before deciding to sign up for the membership. Luckily I'm a resident of Westminster and was able to sign up with a resident discount. The 25 yard lap pool is nice and clean, there is a small diving area and a play pool. The locker rooms are clean and you can rent a locker for free with a collateral like a car key or ID in exchange for a key to a random locker. The showers are equipped with liquid soap, and the bathrooms are clean. We tried the steam room, didn't get a chance to do the hot tub and the sauna yet but those all looked great too. You can get a punch card at a discount if you're not sure membership is the way to go to try them out. There is a small gym area for weights and cardio machines. They offer classes too so check them out online through the Westminster Activities Book. Really glad that we joined the membership - we now have access to all the Westminster Rec Centers. Super reasonable and it goes back to the city and our community.
