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.
