Membership Extension

During the summer, we have had to temporarily reduce operating hours at several of our indoor pools. We understand the impact this has had on our members, and we want to ensure that our members have as much pool time and access as possible.

That said, we are offering qualifying individuals the opportunity to extend their membership by three months for free. To be eligible to receive the extension, you must meet all three qualification criteria:

          
  • Have obtained your membership prior to June 26, 2025, and were an active member on that date.
  •       
  • Be a paying member who possesses either an adult indoor pool membership or a senior, people with disabilities, or veteran membership.
  •       
  • Have visited a qualifying indoor pool site between January 1, 2025 to June 26, 2025.
