Parents, get ready to beat the heat… for FREE!

Thanks to generous sponsors, children and teens 17 and under can enjoy free admission all summer long at the Bond Hill, Filson, Hanna, and Millvale pools, apart of the Cincinnati Recreation Commission (CRC) system.

This initiative kicks off just in time for summer break, helping families access safe, fun spaces to cool off in neighborhoods across the city.

Here’s what you need to know:

Kids 8 and under must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or someone 18+.
Kids 9 to 11 may swim alone during open swim with a signed permission slip and release of liability from a parent or guardian.
Teens 12 to 17 may enter and swim freely under general pool rules.
