Raton Regional Aquatic Center — Attraction in Raton

I live in a gorgeous town in a neighboring state where the only public pool open all year long is in a hotel. The public pool is outside and doesn’t open until the end of May! I was raised in the water, a secret mermaid, was a swimmer competing on summer and all year swim teams, then worked as a diver, Scuba instructor, and feel free in the water! I survived the winter months by dreaming about swimming again! I found this facility and all I can say now is I wish I had not waited so long! The drive there is so breathtaking and peaceful! The Manager and staff are wonderful people, so friendly, and respectful. They keep the pool, the parking lot, the dressing rooms, showers, restrooms extremely clean and comfortable with music playing with a fun atmosphere! The swim area is great for children and families and the lap pool is perfect for swimming, reminds me of my favorite type of pool, 12 plus feet deep with lanes! It has been excellent for my healing and I have chosen this facility to swim as many miles as I can for Cancer! I am trying to go at least 4 to 5 times per week! I recommend this facility very highly, I love...

We occasionally make the drive up from Albuquerque just to spend the weekend here. It's well worth the trip!

It has a super fast water slide, a small circular pool with whirlpool-like currents, a basket ball hoop and volley ball net, a diving board, and the rock climbing wall. Plenty of stuff to keep our pool-obsessed kid busy for hours and hours.

We consider it a hidden gem, the perfect foundation of a...
