Getting in

Seattle Parks drop-in swims are walk-in: no reservation. Pay the cashier at the front desk. Admission goes on sale 15 minutes before each swim, and popular sessions can sell out, so arrive early.

  1. Pick a session on this page (times refresh daily from Seattle Parks' booking system).
  2. Arrive 15+ minutes early. Admission is sold starting 15 minutes before the swim.
  3. Pay at the desk ($6 kids, $8 adults) or use a punch card or 30-day pass.
  4. Kids under 18 who want the deep end, rope swing, diving board or slide take a quick lifeguard swim test (no life jacket).
  5. Under 6 or under 122 cm (48 in): an adult stays in the water within arm's reach.

Tips

  • Buy punch cards at any pool desk or online in ActiveNet (needs a free account).
  • Pools close on holidays (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas, New Year's). The schedule here already skips the closures Seattle Parks has published.
  • Winter 2027 lesson registration opens Dec 8, 2026 at noon (scholarship families Dec 1).
