Good Idea: Going for a swim to cool off on a Texas summer day.

Bad Idea: Paying $30/month for a gym membership for pool access.

…and that is why MeVersus has compiled a list of easily accessible swimming pools… for cheap!

Dallas: $1 – 11 and under, and $2 – 12 and over.

Richardson: FREE – 5 and under, $2 – everyone else

Plano: pricing varies, $2-3

Mesquite: pricing varies, FREE – $4

Garland: pricing varies, FREE – $3

Although listed under Garland, I’d like to call special attention to:

Surf and Swim: $5/6 – Four-acre aquatic complex, a half million gallon wave pool. Enough said.
