Summer is almost here, and that means it’s time to plan some fun family activities for those long, hot days! If your family is anything like mine, you can’t wait for pool season to kick off! We were members of a pool for a couple of years, but last summer, we decided to mix things up with day passes, hopping around to different pools until we found one that felt just right. Now that we’re a family of four, it seems like purchasing a membership is the best move for us, even though we have other options too!
I’ve put together this guide to help you discover the pools in your community. You’ll find details on pricing, day pass options, services offered, and any fun events included with a membership.
Lancaster has some amazing FREE options to cool off in the summer. Be sure to register for the Lancaster Rec Summer Playgrounds & Wading Pools Program.
Did I miss out on a pool that you love? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to drop me an email at Emilye@macaronikid.com.
Happy swimming!
