About... Cactus Aquatic Center is one of the premiere competitive and recreational facilities in the state. The Olympic-size, 50-meter heated pool can be set up in both long and short courses (50m or 25yd). In addition, the pool has three, 1-meter and two, 3-meter diving boards. Pool depth ranges from 3 to 14 feet. This outdoor pool is open year-round (heated in the winter) and offers swimming for the general public, U.S. Swim, Dive and Synchro teams, as well as high school teams, water exercise, recreational teams and swim lessons. The fitness portion of this facility also hosts a variety of aerobic, fitness and leisure education classes, free weights, machine weights and various cardiovascular machines.
Fees for the pool and fitness center are on a drop-in basis, no membership is required. The cost to use the pool and fitness center for adults per visit is $2 resident or $3 nonresident and for children (age 17 and under) is $1 resident or $1.50 nonresident. Adult Passes can be purchased for 10-visits ($20 for resident or $30 for nonresident) or 30-visits ($60 for resident or $90 for nonresident).
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 Eldorado, Cactus and Chaparral Aquatic Centers for a family of 6 is $120 and $20 for each additional family member. This pass is valid at all three 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.

- 13 and under: Not allowed
- 14 - 15: Allowed when accompanied by an adult
