Blackhawk Country Club’s Sports Complex features the ultimate aquatics oasis in the East Bay. Nestled in the rolling green hills of Mount Diablo is our Club’s 368,000-gallon, 10 lane competition and recreational, heated pool. Our members truly enjoy a pool experience, nothing short of exceptional. Whether you’re a competitive swimmer on our 350-member winning HOX Swim Team, a family looking to splash around, or a sunbather seeking relaxation, this aquatics facility is the perfect place to be on any day of the year!
The shallow end of the pool is accessible by entry steps that span the entire length of the pool, making it easy for all swimmers to enter and exit. The pool’s white plaster has recently been refinished and has been fitted with brand new lane lines. There’s also a 4,000-gallon wading pool, perfect for young swimmers and families to enjoy.
The aquatics facility also boasts a large pool deck and ample green space, perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun while the kids play and run around in a safe fenced area. Ten solar panel covered cabanas provide a private and shaded retreat for those who prefer to relax in style. These cabanas are the epitome of luxury and offer a fantastic way to enjoy the pool experience while staying cool and comfortable. The cabanas include teak dining tables to enjoy a meal with family or friends and laid-back couches and oversized coffee tables for those that just want to relax poolside with a beverage and a book. Daily poolside food & beverage service in our cabanas are sure to be a huge hit this coming summer.

He is also the head coach of the swim team, The HOX, and has brought home to Blackhawk Country Club 3 consecutive league championships and a dual meet record of 58-6 over the last 7 years, including 3 years going undefeated in one of the most competitive recreational leagues in the country.
Construction and installation will be completed in early May on a new state-of-the-art Colorado Timing Systems scoreboard and display. The 18-foot-wide x 10-foot-tall color display will astonish our members as they take in movies, sports, or watch their swimmer’s time pop up on the new board from any location in the pool or on deck.
