Lane swim may have a small fee ($2.50 youth · $3.75 adult), but if you swim regularly, a multi-visit pass brings the cost down.

Absolutely! Toddlers are welcome at leisure swim and preschool swim sessions. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a caregiver in the water (not just poolside). Babies and toddlers must wear swim diapers — regular diapers are not allowed in the pool.

No registration needed — just show up! Some popular pools have capacity limits and may use a wristband system during peak times, so arriving 10–15 minutes early is recommended, especially on weekends.
