Weather Closure Policy
Our aquatic risk management company, StarGuard Elite’s policy is when thunder is heard or lightning is seen, or within 10 miles, the pool must close until the thunder and/or lightning has stopped for at least 30 minutes. You will be required to leave the pool and the pool deck for your safety and the safety of our guards. If the pool will be closed for a short amount of time due to weather, we won’t post updates on social media. However, if the pool is expected to be closed all day, we will make every effort to update Ken-Caryl Ranch’s Facebook page.
Pools will close for the day if the high is forecasted to be 60 degrees or less otherwise, they will remain open regardless of attendance.
The weather changes rapidly; therefore, delays and closures at the pool can happen rapidly as well. You can also monitor the weather using the WeatherBug app, just like our guards!
* NO REFUNDs will be given for closures due to weather or unforeseeable events. Guests may receive a hand stamp to return to any of the pools later in the day.

In-District residents are FREE; however, residents ages 3 and up MUST register for a pool pass through their ActiveNet account prior to visiting the pools. In-District residents ages 3 and up will be subject to pay the out-of-District rate of $10/person if they do not register for a pool pass. Only members living permanently in the District will be considered residents.
**Members of Silver Sneakers, Silver & Fit, and Renew Active programs do not have to register for a pool pass. If your membership is active for the fitness center, it also grants access to the pools. To confirm your membership or for any eligibility questions, please visit the Community Center or Ranch House during business hours. Verification of eligibility cannot be done at the pools.**
Our pools will be adopting a cashless payment policy this summer. All non-residents ages 3 and up visiting the pools are encouraged to purchase their passes online before arriving at the pools. In-person payment methods accepted are credit or debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
For entry into the pool you may use the following:
- an activated fob (if you had a fob for your pool pass in 2023, when you register this year it will automatically update)
- a photo of your activated fob
- a photo of the barcode on your receipt when you register for a pool pass
Please stop by the Ranch House or Community Center during business hours if you would like a fob. Pool staff can’t issue fobs.
*If you don’t have any of these but did register, staff can check you in by searching your name. This is less ideal as it takes time when other patrons are waiting to check in.
For additional information, contact Kate McDonald at katem@kcranch.org or 303-979-1876, ext. 131.
