Scottsdale’s Aquatic and Fitness Centers

Scottsdale’s 5 Aquatic and 6 Fitness Centers invite residents and non-residents to access exceptional public pools and workout facilities throughout the City, at a low-cost! And, they’re open year-round.

Bonus: See the list of FREE! Scottsdale Splash Pads below!

In our HOT summers, stay cool in Scottsdale’s Public Pools! Scottsdale boasts 4 Aquatic Centers and 2 Water Parks — there’s no better way to cool off, get a great workout or have a splashing fun play date!

There are lifeguards for summer safety. And, there are summer events like night swims, dive-in movies and safety luaus!

You can get Memberships and Passes for a combo of aquatics and fitness — or just aquatics or fitness only. Your choice.

You can also sign up for seasonal classes and activities at these facilities.

Here’s everything you need to start your swim and fitness routines — how to register, get passes, and sign up for classes.

Scottsdale’s Aquatic Centers, Pools and Water Parks

The Aquatic Centers’ pools are heated during our cooler months. You can sign up for memberships and passes to participate in Lap Swimming, aka ‘Lap Swim.’

There are also Youth Swim Lessons for all ages, from Sea Babies (from 6 months old) to Sharks (6 + years old). And, Adult Swim Lessons and Adult Specialty Classes, like Shallow Water Exercise, and Tone and Tai Chi water exercises.

NOTE: Youth Swim Lessons, Adult Swim Lessons and Water Exercise are offered seasonally through Scottsdale Recreation Classes/Activities. You’ll sign up for them through a different area in your Registration Sign Up/In. Once you Register/Sign In, select Activities and Registration.

Read this post for instructions. It’s a little tricky and different from getting a Membership/Pass for swimming [and/or fitness center].

Here’s a table of the City of Scottsdale’s Aquatic and Fitness Centers, from North to South, including links, maps and amenities.

Scottsdale’s Splash Pads

Scottsdale also has 4 Splash Pads, Spray Poles, and a Spray Pad — for FREE! They are open from mid-March/April 15 — October 15. And, are turned on at 9 AM and off at 7 PM.

The Splash Pads provide a fun, FREE!, safe, and easily accessible through our parks way for kids and dogs to cool off in a fun way and enjoy the outdoors when it’s hot.

Don’t forget to take sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and water!

Questions? Give ’em a call weekdays 8 AM – 5 PM: (480) 312-7275

Aquatics and Fitness Center Memberships and Passes

The Membership Search and Scottsdale Activity Pass are what the City of Scottsdale terms Membership and Activity Passes for our Aquatic and Fitness Centers — plus Table Tennis and 1 Skate Park.

You can obtain memberships and passes to participate in the combination of Lap Swimming, aka ‘Lap Swim’ and Fitness Centers at facilities offering one or both activities.

Or, you can opt for membership/passes in either swimming or fitness, if you only ‘do’ one or the other activity.

Registration and Membership Pass Steps

Here’s how it works:
