Memberships & Punch Passes

2025 Pool Membership Information
Family Memberships ($210 / $140 for City of La Crosse Resident w/ Discount). Family memberships include a maximum of 2 adult guardians and any children/step-children under the age of 18.

Single Memberships ($105 / $70 for City of La Crosse Resident w/ Discount). Individuals over the age of 18 must obtain their own membership. Babysitters, day care employees, and grandparents are not allowed on family memberships.

Pool Punch Pass

This option is for City Residents only.
Each punch = a visit at the pool per person = $2 per person (discount from paying $5 general admission at pool).
Customers DO NOT have to add any punches to renew old/current punch passes. It is highly recommended that they use up their current balances on any/all cards before purchasing any more. We can reprint cards if they need us to. Punches will automatically carry over without any renewal process.
Punches will be able to be purchased at City Hall, Black River Beach Neighborhood Center, South Side Neighborhood Center, AND each of the three pools.
If cards need to be printed, that can only be done at City Hall and Black River Beach Neighborhood Center.
Receipts will NOT show the number of punches left, just the number of punches that have been added in that transaction.
Punches can be bought in even number increments (2, 10, 44, 50, etc.)
If you reprint a punch pass for someone, it may look different than previous years or have a different number. But no worries, it will all work the same.
