It is time to start thinking about summer pool passes 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
Again this year, pool passes are sold at a flat rate, whether you are a resident of Champaign-Urbana or not. The Champaign Park District has begun selling season pool passes to Sholem Aquatic Center at a discounted price and sale prices will continue through April 30. 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
Pool passes are sold individually so you can customize to your family’s needs. Sale prices are as follow: youth ages 4-17 – $42, adult ages 18-54 – $80, senior age 55 and up – $70. Prices go up $3-5 after the sale ends on 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 $80.
Also note that all pool passes are usually 50 percent off on or after July 5, 2025 (the summer halfway point, essentially).
