On a cold Saturday morning in January, swimmers with Squid — Swimming Queers United in Denver — changed into swim caps, goggles, Speedos and race suits and splashed into the Abraham Lincoln High School pool.

Normally, the iconic Denver team would be practicing at a rec center. But in December, Denver Parks and Recreation quit renting space to Squid and all other private teams. Now, public school pools are the only places the group is welcome in Denver — and availability is scarce.
