How to Register to Swim at City Pools
POOL PASSES REQUIRED
Residents who wish to swim at Forest Park or Gerena Elementary School pools this summer must pre-register and then obtain a free Pool Pass at the John J Shea Technical Training Facility in Forest Park between July 1st and August 10th (see below for more details). You must bring this Pool Pass with you whenever you visit a Springfield Pool. Each member of the family must have a Pool Pass to swim, and at least one adult in a family must register in order for children from that family to register.
Start by filling out the pre-registration form, once for each family member, parent first. Print your form and bring it to the John J Shea Technical Training Facility beginning July 1st to get your free Pool Pass. We have to accommodate the entire City, so please come early! We will cut the lines when we have reached capacity to be able to complete all of those participants waiting, on time.
Each person registered will be assigned a unique ID number to print and save. Bring this registration number with you to the John J Shea Technical Training Facility. This will help expedite you in getting a Pool Pass from the Parks Department.
