Summer 2024 Pool Guide: Fees, Programs, and More!

by | Jun 28, 2024

As the summer season approaches, the excitement around our community pool’s 2024 unveiling has everyone buzzing. From Saturday, May 25, through Saturday, August 17, the pool welcomes families, friends, and swim enthusiasts to beat the heat and create lasting memories. Mark your calendars, though—the pool takes a break on July 4 to honor Independence Day. This season promises to accommodate all age groups, ensuring a summer filled with splashes and laughter.

Diving into the specifics, admission remains a steal at $5 daily, encouraging frequent dips to cool off. Sundays offer a special treat with an admission fee of just $3, making it the perfect family fun day without breaking the bank. For our tiniest community members, those aged 4 and under get in free, ensuring the whole family can enjoy the water. For the avid swimmers among us, season passes are available for $70, granting unlimited access to daily swim sessions. If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion at the pool, private parties can be booked with varying fees depending on duration, plus the option to open the concession stand for an extra $15 per hour, adding snacks and refreshments to your private event.

Switching gears to our summer programs, “Walk the Water” and “Lap Swim” are set from June 18 through July 18 on Tuesdays through Thursdays, offering structured water activities for different stamina levels. At $10 for “Walk The Water” sessions from 10 to 11:30 am, and the same price for “Lap Swim” from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm, these programs are designed to help community members kickstart or maintain their fitness journeys within the communal spirit of our beloved pool.

For our young swimmers and their guardians, the pool offers group and private swim lessons tailored to all skill levels, starting with registration on May 24. Group lessons, running at $35, include six one-hour sessions for ages 2 and up, with two-time slots in the evening to accommodate busy families. Whether your child is just getting their toes wet or improving their butterfly stroke, these lessons provide a safe and supportive environment for growth. For personalized attention, private swim lessons are available at $15 per half-hour, ensuring focused progress. Outside the pool season, for those looking to plan ahead or with questions, the Jackson Civic IDA provides answers and assistance, highlighting our community’s commitment to accessible and enjoyable swim experiences for everyone.

With these offerings, the 2024 pool season is set to be a resounding success. It’s more than just a place to swim—it’s a community hub where memories are made, skills are honed, and the summer heat is beaten in the best way possible. Make sure to drop by, whether it’s for a casual swim, a birthday party, or to partake in our engaging water programs. Here’s to a summer filled with joy, community, and refreshing poolside fun!
