No pool this summer? No problem! The City of Las Vegas operates six community pools that offer day and monthly passes, swimming lessons, water slides, diving and artistic swimming, lifeguard camp, water sports, and other special events.

Take advantage of $2 and $3 day passes and monthly passes that are valid at all six of City of Las Vegas’ pools. The pools offer free sunscreen from dispensers.

If you are planning to spend all summer pool-side, one- and three-month passes might be worth it! Three-month passes cost $35 for 4- to 17-year-olds and for people over 50, and $70 for people between 18 and 49 years old. The one-month pass will run you $30 if you’re between 18 and 49, and $15 for those 4 to 17 years old and 50+.

Children under 3 years old are free. 

Remember that children under 7 years old must be accompanied by an adult in the water — one adult per child. Hours of open swim may change, and pools may close occasionally for private special events, training, or facility maintenance and repair.

Registration for swim lessons and water sports is open online. Financial assistance is available for team sports and group swim lessons for city of Las Vegas residents who meet the qualifications and apply for financial assistance.
