We will be offering a new unlimited use season pass that will be valid from Oct. 1 to Dec. 3.
With the purchase of the new fall season pass, you receive unlimited use of the pool during our summer pool hours for free from Aug. 1 to 19.
The pass deal is only available for purchase throughout the month of July.
Your current passes have no expiry dates so you can suspend them until the New Year and enjoy unlimited use in the fall.
The more you use the fall season pass, the better deal it becomes.
The fee for the season pass is based on our monthly pass fee. For more details on the fall pass, please give us a call.
