General pool admission is $15. Residents of Montgomery
County receive a discount with proof of residency. Daily admission is $5 for
County residents ages 1-17, $7 for adults and $6 for seniors (age 55 and
older). Summer pool passes are available for purchase and are valid now through
Sept. 4.
Residents
are encouraged to become familiar with the safety rules posted at the pools.
Children are most at risk for water-related accidents and it is important they
are always closely supervised while in and around the pool.
Because
safety is a priority, it may be necessary to temporarily halt admission to pools
when capacity is reached. Additional swimmers will be admitted as soon as space
becomes available.
Pool
visitors are allowed to bring food and drink to the pools, but must follow pool
rules and regulations. Those include no glass, no barbeques, no alcohol and
that all coolers will be inspected.

additional information about pool passes, amenities and hours of operation at
all swimming pools, visit the website.
