Yes. Our regular drop-in rate is $2 per person. YWCA Members and up to 4 immediate family members have a drop-in rate of $5, and $1 for each additional immediate family member. Alternatively, you may use your Plunge Pass at the rate of one punch per person. There is no fee for infants/toddlers who don't yet swim and will be held by an adult at least 95% of the time while in the water. Tuition assistance is available by application. For more information or an application form come to the Member Services desk or call (808) 935-7141.
