The Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center is a year-round facility, offering recreation and relaxation in natural mineral water. A 25-meter, 6-lane pool dominates a large portion of the building. At approximately 84 to 86 degrees, this pool is delightful for swimming, diving and recreational play. Two lap lanes are usually available.
Across a divider wall, a smaller 4-foot pool holds water at approximately 95 to 100 degrees. The zero-depth entry provides easy access. This pool is excellent for warm aquatherapy, exercise and soaking. Enjoy our private soaking pools in approximately 105 degrees hot mineral spring water. The spring water is collected underground and piped eight miles from the source high in the majestic Rocky Mountains. This sparkling clear and odorless water was originally enjoyed by the Ute Indians who believed it healed mind, body and spirit. The hot mineral spring water flows continually into the various Salida Hot Springs Pools, refreshing and warming them naturally.
