It is time to start thinking about summer pool passes going on sale for Sholem Aquatic Center and Crystal Lake Park Family Aquatic Center
Champaign-Urbana pool fans can start dreaming of warm summer days and secure their pool pass at a discounted rate for the upcoming season
Looking back on last summer, one of the highlights was fun in the sun with our families at area pools. This year, we are looking forward to summer fun at Champaign-Urbana area pools more than ever during the warm summer months. Enter: pool pass sales.
Let’s cover what you need to know about the summer pool plans for the Champaign Park District and the Urbana Park District.
Sholem Aquatic Center Pool Pass Sale
New this year, pool passes are sold at a flat rate, whether you are a resident of Champaign-Urbana or not. The Champaign Park District begins selling season pool passes to Sholem Aquatic Center at a discounted price on Mar.6 and sale prices will continue through April 30. (Check out the program guide.) As in years past, a pool pass gets you admission to public swim hours, lap swim, the river run/walk, and Tiny Tots swim time for the youngest swimmers.
Pricing
For a family of 2-3, you can get a pool pass for $190 during the early bird sale. (Additional family members are $40.) That jumps up to $210 after April 30. All swimmers ages 4 and up need a pool pass, but children 3 and younger are admitted for free.
As another option, if you have small children (3 and under only) and just one parent wants a season pass to take advantage of Tiny Tots swim time, you can get an individual pass for $100 as a C-U resident (and that increases to $110 after the sale ends).
Also note that all pool passes are 50 percent off on or after July 5, 2024 (the summer halfway point, essentially).

Urbana Park District’s pool pass sale is already happening! You can buy passes at the Phillips Recreation Center or the Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center; sale runs through April 30.
Pricing
For a Champaign or Urbana resident family of 2-3, you can get a pool pass to Crystal Lake Aquatic Center on sale for $172 (that price goes up to $207 later in the spring). There is a sliding scale for additional family members. All visitors ages 4 and up need a pass, and children 3 and under are free.
