Pool Pass Information for the 2023 Season

 

To swim with the Crafton Crocodiles, there are two options. You MUST either have a pool pass (resident or non resident) OR if you are only at our pool to swim with the Crocodiles you will write us a check for $35 that we give to the Boro for your child to swim with us.  

If you live in Carnegie, Thornburg, Rosslyn Farms or Ingram and decide you would like a pool pass for the Crafton Pool there is a special discount provided for you. $15 off for Individual or $30 off a Family pass at the Non-resident rate. 

The Boro has also graciously provided the same discount to those swim team families that live outside of Crafton, Thornburg, Rosslyn Farms and Ingram. If you live in the City, Greentree, Robinson, Carnegie, etc and have a child that swims for the Crocodiles, you are also allowed to purchase a Crafton Pool pass (NON RESIDENT) at the Boro office. The same discount listed above will apply to you as well.

*IMPORTANT*  You will need to bring a copy of your receipt from Registration to purchase your passes.
