The Swim Club at Cordillera Ranch is the place to be for sunning, relaxing, dining, exercising, playing games and simply enjoying the pleasures of summer.
As the summer heats up and the pools open, the Swim Club provides the ideal setting to escape. Perfectly perched on one of the highest points of the Ranch overlooking the Guadalupe River Valley, the Swim Club offers awe-inspiring views and a casual atmosphere for entertaining. Sun worshippers and recreational swimmers alike will be refreshed by the turquoise waters of the pool, or escape to the adults-only negative-edge pool for pure relaxation. Kids will have a great time playing in the Kiddie Pool or taking a ride down the water slide. And while lounging by the pool, enjoy poolside service from our staff.
Pool Refurbishment
Just in time for summer, the four pools at the Swim Club were refurbished in a process that took three months to complete. Existing plaster was removed and recoated with new material and color, making the surface smoother and cleaner, while helping to maintain a proper chemical balance for the water. The pool bottom pop-up jets were also removed to create a consistent smooth surface for your feet. After this winter’s terrible freeze, cracking and loose flagstone on the pool decking was repaired. For a final update, all pool chairs are receiving new fabric webbing. The Swim Club will be brighter than ever!
Snow Cone Tuesdays
Kids are treated to a free snow cone every Tuesday this summer!

While relaxing poolside, feed your hungry kids and enjoy seasonal, summertime snacks for yourself. Casual and fun, the poolside menu offers new dishes created by The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch Culinary Team for summer 2021. Here is a sampling of some menu items to try!
Refreshing Fitness
During the summer, Paddle Board Yoga and Aquafit group classes at the Cordillera Ranch Pool provide an invigorating exercise alternative guaranteed to refresh and re-energize. Taught by Instructor Kelly Vizzone, each 60-minute class is suitable for all fitness and skill levels. See the Group Exercise Calendar for dates and times.
Aquafit
Aquafit is a challenging water workout designed for everyone, and is especially beneficial for those with joint ailments or recovering injuries. This 60-minute, upbeat class begins with a gentle warm-up and then eases in to exercises using your own body weight and the natural resistance of the water.
Paddle Board Yoga
Paddle Board Yoga is a great way to connect yourself with the Swim Club’s beautiful surroundings while experiencing all the benefits of a great workout. This 60-minute class incorporates elements of yoga and allows you to focus on your individual needs of balance, strength and core. Let the paddle board become your mat and experience yoga in a different way.
Paddle Board Boot Camp
This NEW seasonal class is a boot camp-style class with a twist. Focus will be on toning your muscles, strengthening your core and increasing your endurance, all on the paddle board. Take your land training to the next level with this class. Challenge your balance, endurance and muscles with this full body workout.
