SEASON
SWIM PASS EXPANDED AT POOLS & BEACHES
The Season Swim Pass allows residents to pay one price and swim as often as they like at Glen Island Beach in New Rochelle, Tibbetts Brook Pool and Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers, Saxon Woods Pool in White Plains, and at Willson’s Waves in Mount Vernon.
The
Season Swim Pass allows residents to pay one price and swim as often as
they like all summer long without paying admission and parking fees for
each visit. Holders can use the Season Swim Pass at all county pools and beaches, with the exception of Playland beach
and pool and Croton Point beach.
The
Season Swim Pass costs $150
for a family, which includes
admission to all five facilities for a maximum of two adults plus any of
their children ages 12 through 18 living at home. All members of the
family must be present at the time of purchase. Only one address
will be accepted per season pass.
A pass for a single adult is
$75 and $50 for a senior citizen.
The swim pass is valid for the 2006 season and includes admission and
parking. Admission without the swim pass ranges from $3 to $5.75 per
person per visit. Season Swim Passes are available to Westchester
County resident Park Pass holders only.
Season
Swim Passes can be purchased at all five locations: beginning Saturday,
May 26, at Glen Island beach and Saturday, June 10, at all pools.
At
Playland Park in Rye, a
discount card valid for 10 non-holiday weekday admissions to the beach is
$20 and to the pool is $30. The cards can be purchased only at Playland.
Fun Cards for the amusement park rides can also be used for beach and pool
admission with each point being valued as $1.
