Who says you can't make use of your swimsuit in the dead of winter?
The weather in Denver likes to surprise us with snow one day and sun the next, but January temperatures never get quite warm enough for a day at the beach. But that doesn't mean you can't put on your swimsuit and splash around. Hit up one of these indoor pools or water parks, and you just might forget your winter blues.
