SEASON POOL PASSES

Season pool passes are available online, at City Hall, Valley Junction Activity Center, and at both aquatic centers during their operating hours. Passes are sold per household. An individual photo ID card is required for each family member who wishes to have a pass. All pass holders must have a current photo either on file or taken at the time of registration. Photos can be taken at City Hall or the Valley Junction Activity Center during regular business hours (Monday - Friday: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or at the West Des Moines Aquatic Centers starting the first week of the season during open swim hours.

Please note that it is best to purchase season passes at City Hall or the Valley Junction Activity Center prior to the first week of the season to avoid long lines at both aquatic facilities. Season passes are valid at Holiday, Valley View, and Clive Aquatic Centers.
