Swim Passes

★ Open Swim Season Passes: Valid Monday, June 29 through Friday, August 14.

Open Swim Season Passes include unlimited access to open swimming from Monday, June 29 through Friday, August 14. Open Swim Season Passes are reserved for East Rochester residents only.

 

★ Open Swim Punch Passes: Valid Monday, June 29 through Friday, August 14.

Open Swim Punch Passes include 15 Open Swim passes. Punch passes are valid for one full day of swimming for all family pass holders per punch, not per person.

Once your pass is used (punched) for the day, everyone included on that pass may enter and exit the pool as many times as needed for the rest of that day. The pass will not be punched again for additional entries on the same day.

For example, using a Family of 4 Punch Pass:

  • Two children from a family of four come to open swim in the morning. The pass is punched once. Later that day, the parents join them. The pass is not punched again because it is still the same day.
  • A family of four comes to the pool together in the afternoon, leaves, and then returns later that evening. This still counts as one punch total for the entire day.
  • One family member uses the pass on Monday. That uses one punch. When the entire family returns on Tuesday, a new punch will be used for that day.

Open Swim Punch Passes are reserved for East Rochester residents only.

  • 2-week Swim Lession Session
