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.
