About the Program

Boulder Beach is a swimming beach on Lake Mead, inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Boulder City. It is a natural lake beach, not a pool or a lesson program, so plan the day around a few park rules.

There are no lifeguards anywhere in the park, and the park does not test for bacteria, toxic algae or swimmer's itch. The park asks everyone to wear a life jacket and to keep kids wading in spots without boat traffic. Water wings, pool noodles, beach balls and other pool toys are banned, so bring a properly fitting life jacket for each child instead. Towel off right after swimming to avoid swimmer's itch, and skip any water with bright green algae.

Other rules: no glass, no styrofoam, and gas or charcoal grills only, no campfires. As the lake drops, soft mud is exposed near the shore, so test the ground before walking out.

Entry is $25.00 per private vehicle for 1 to 7 days, or $15.00 per person on foot or bike. A resident America the Beautiful pass is $80.00 a year if you visit federal lands often. Summer highs reach 103 °F, so fall, when highs run 59 °F to 83 °F, is a gentler time to go.

First Visit Guide

What most swim schools expect. Confirm the details with Boulder Beach Swim Site before you go.

What to bring

  • Swimsuit, worn under regular clothes so changing goes faster
  • Towel and a full set of dry clothes
  • Swim diaper if your child isn't potty trained yet. Many schools want two layers, so ask.
  • Hair tie or swim cap for long hair
  • Goggles only if the school says yes. A lot of them teach beginners without goggles on purpose, so kids get used to water on their face.

Before you go

  • Get there 10 to 15 minutes early for check-in and the changing room shuffle.
  • Keep snacks light and at least 30 minutes before water time.
  • Ask where parents wait. Some schools have viewing windows, some want you on the deck for baby classes.

The first visit

The first lesson usually starts with a quick skill check so the teacher can place your child in the right level. Lesson one is about getting comfortable, not swimming laps. Indoor pools run all year here, which matters when it's 105 outside in July.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Pools echo and they're loud. Ask which lesson times are quietest, and whether you can stop by just to watch a class before your child's first one.
