Pool Season Is Next: Ways We Enjoy Our Resort-Style Pool

|

We know, it’s early February. But after a few unexpectedly sunny days, we can’t help it; we’re already daydreaming about pool season. When summer finally lands in Denver, having a resort-style pool right at home changes everything. It turns an ordinary weekday into something you look forward to, and it makes weekends feel like a real reset. 

Below, we’re sharing what we love most about our resort-style pool at High Line Pointe, plus simple etiquette reminders and easy ways to plan a pool day that feels effortless. 

What a Resort-Style Pool Adds to Summer at High Line Pointe 

A resort-style pool is not just a nice extra. It becomes a built-in way to recharge without having to pack up the car, fight for parking, or plan your whole day around a single activity. 

At High Line Pointe, our pool setup makes it easy to keep summer simple. Some days, it’s a quick swim between meetings. Other days, it’s a long lounge session that ends with an evening dip. When the weather is warm, having a resort-style pool nearby makes it easier to spend more time outdoors, move your body, and unwind with less effort. 

And because our community is designed for the rhythms of everyday life, the pool experience pairs naturally with the rest of our lifestyle-focused amenities, from wellness spaces to outdoor-friendly features. 

Resort-Style Pool Rules and Etiquette for a Better Pool Day 

The best pool days feel relaxed, and that usually comes down to shared courtesy. While posted pool rules always come first, these simple resort-style pool etiquette habits help everyone enjoy the space comfortably. 

Keep seating fair and flexible. If you’re not using a chair or cabana space, avoid “saving” it for hours with towels and personal items. 
Use headphones for music. It keeps the vibe calm and helps everyone settle into their own version of a good pool day. 
Clean up as you go. Toss trash, pick up food containers, and leave tables the way you would want to find them. 
Be mindful of guests. A friend visit is fun. A crowded takeover changes the experience for everyone. 
Respect pool-time energy. Some residents are there to socialize, and others are there to decompress. Keeping voices at a conversational level goes a long way. 
Plan food and drinks thoughtfully. Stick to simple, low-mess options that won’t spill easily in the sun. 
Follow safety basics. Walk carefully on wet surfaces and keep an eye on your surroundings, especially during busier hours. 

A resort-style pool works best when it still feels like a shared retreat, even on a Saturday. 

10 Ways to Enjoy Our Resort-Style Pool This Summer 

Whether you have 20 minutes to squeeze in a swim or you’re planning a full afternoon of lounging, these simple ideas make it easy to use the space in a way that fits your schedule and your mood. 

1. Start with a yoga class, then a morning swim 

If you love a calm start to the day, this is one of our favorite ways to do it. With an on-site yoga studio right here at High Line Pointe, you can fit in a quick yoga session, then head straight to the pool to cool off with a few laps.  

2. Plan a poolside reading break 

Pool days do not have to be loud or packed with plans. Bring a book, settle in, and let the sun do what it does best.  

3. Bring a snack and drink 

Option to keep it easy: fruit, a protein bar, or a light snack that won’t melt in ten minutes.  But hey, you’re welcome to bring a cooler full of food for all we care. Personally, we’d love to see you with a full charcuterie spread or an entire In-N-Out burger moment. Maybe a beer or 5? Just no glass, please! 

4. Make it a weekend reset 

Pick a time window and treat it like an appointment with yourself. A couple of hours by our resort-style pool paired with a workout in our fitness center can make your Sunday feel like it actually included rest. 

5. Invite a friend for a low-key hangout 

Some of our favorite pool days are the ones that stay simple. A good conversation, a little sunshine, some good music, and a comfortable place to sit can be enough. 

6. Use sunscreen and shade smartly 

Reapply sunscreen more often than you think you need to, and rotate between sun and shade (hello, our poolside cabanas!) so you stay comfortable all day. It’s the difference between enjoying the pool and recovering from it. 

7. Wrap up with an evening dip 

When the heat softens and the light shifts, the pool feels calmer. An evening swim is a great way to close out a long day without adding another errand to your schedule. 

8. Nap in one of our poolside cabanas 

A cabana nap is an underrated summer skill. Bring sunglasses, set a timer, and give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing for a little while. And hey, we won’t tell your boss if you decide to move your home office out here and do a little WFP (work from pool).  

9. Relax in our hot tub 

For anyone who loves the idea of apartments with a hot tub, this is one of those amenities that never gets old. A quick soak after a swim (or after a long day) makes the whole evening feel lighter. 

10. Cool off after biking or walking the High Line Canal Trail 

One of the easiest summer routines is outdoor time first, then pool time. A walk along the High Line Canal Trail is an easy way for you and your dog to get some much-needed fresh air, then you can come home and cool down by our resort-style pool without ever leaving the neighborhood. It’s just one of the everyday perks of living in pet-friendly apartments in Denver, like the High Line Pointe community. 

Resort-Style Pool Features We Love at High Line Pointe 

Every community does “pool season” a little differently. What we love about our resort-style pool setup is how naturally it fits into daily life. 

  • Cabanas for real lounging. When you want shade and comfort, the cabanas make it easy to settle in and stay awhile. 
  • A hot tub for post-sun unwinding. It’s a great contrast after a swim, and it’s just as useful for a quieter, slower pool day. 
  • Wellness amenities that pair well with pool time. A pool day can be active, restorative, or both, depending on the mood. 
  • A community layout designed for lifestyle. Our spaces are built to support summer routines, not just occasional moments. 

High Line Pointe is also a strong fit for residents balancing busy schedules, social plans, and wellness goals, which is a big reason so many people look for young-professional apartments that include spaces like this.
