Open Water Swimming at Chatfield

The rules are simple:

• Swimming Times: Monday & Wednesday from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday from 7:30 to 10:00 a.m. Tickets will be issued to violators.
• Swim Season: Saturday, April 29, 2006 through Saturday, September 30, 2006.
• Parking must be in the Kingfisher lot or the lot to the south of the pond. There is also an additional lot just to the east of the Kingfisher lot across the bridge. No parking will be allowed on the sides of the road as the Park is trying to revegetate the area after some construction work. Tickets will be issued to violators.
• Each swimmer must have with them proof of membership into a permitted club. This means you must bring your COMSA card to the lake. You could be ticketed if you have no proof of being with a permitted club.

  NEW THIS YEAR: COMSA memberships will NOT be available on site. You must register in advance to be able to swim! Visit www.comsa.org.

• Swimmers should swim to the west of the pond and leave the east side for the divers.

The Park has posted an information bulletin board. The board lists the various clubs that have permits along with contact information. Also on this board are the permitted swim times and any special activities that occur throughout the summer in the Gravel Pond. Those special activities are not limited to swimming activities. Please remember that other people are using the pond - fisherman, divers, dog trainers, etc.
