Pool passes are valid at all city pools, including New Providence Pool, located approximately two miles away from the Bel-Aire Pool property. Bel-Aire Pool, located at 124 Marie Drive, will not open for the 2015 summer pool season due to major structural and mechanical issues.

The Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of swim lessons, water fitness classes, and pool pass options to cater to every family or group.

During the summer season, Parks and Recreation offers six comprehensive course levels of swim lessons, open to ages six months to adult, to teach students how to swim skillfully and safely as well as Adaptive Swim Lessons for those with special needs. The complete list of swim lesson sessions is available online for registration at recpro.cityofclarksville.com. Sessions begin as early as June 1 so be sure to register before classes are filled.

The Splash Pass is a $20 season pass that includes access to not only the slides at Swan Lake, but also the climbing walls at Beachaven and New Providence Pools. Daily admission to the pools is $5 if you arrive before 3 p.m. or $3 after 3 p.m.

There will be concessions available for purchase onsite at each pool, but once again this year, patrons will be able to bring their own snacks and picnic in the designated areas. However, patrons should keep in mind that glass containers or bottles will not be allowed into any of the pools.

Want to get your pool pass and also save some time in line? Here are a couple of tips to cut your wait time:

• Create or update your family’s account online.
• Email a photo of each family member on your pool pass (with their names) to ParksRec@cityofclarksville.com. They can be added to your account before you arrive.
