Fees

Fees for the pool and fitness center are on a drop-in basis, no membership required.   Daily fee for adult lap swim and fitness center is $2 resident and $3 nonresident per visit and for children (age 17 and under) is $1 resident or $1.50 nonresident per visit.  Adult public swim is $6 resident and $9 nonresident per visit.   Child (under 18) public swim is $4 resident and $6 nonresident per visit.  Adult Passes for lap swim/fitness center can be purchased for 10-visits ($20 for resident or $30 for nonresident) or 30-visits ($60 resident or $90 nonresident).

Summer Family Pass

Scottsdale's Summer Family Pass allows families of all sizes unlimited public swim and fitness center visits from Memorial Day through Labor Day.   A family of four that visits a city pool an average of two times a week receives a substantial savings over the drop-in price when they purchase a Family Pass for the season.  The savings increase the more frequently you attend.  A Family Pass at McDowell Mountain Ranch for a family of 6 costs $400 and $80 for each additional family member.   The McDowell Mountain Ranch Family Pass is good at all four Aquatic Centers.   Family Passes can be purchased by Scottsdale residents and include unlimited public swim, lap swim and fitness center visits.  All aquatic classes require an additional registration fee.
