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.
