Towamencin Pool - 2022 Season Pass Sale extended (last day March 20)
A message from the Township's pool operator, StandGuard Aquatics:
- We are extending the sale price through this weekend (Sunday, March 20). Prices will change on the site Monday morning (March 21).
- We are getting some questions about "last year's prices" and want to address that. The prices listed now are the same prices of passes during the season in 2021. Those prices were active in May of 2021. Some people did purchase 2021 season passes back in NOV of 2020 and March of 2021 at a discounted rate as part of a sales promotion but those changed in May of 2021.
- Why are season passes going up? Great question! The price of everything has gone up in the past 12 months substantially, especially labor costs. A year ago, we were hiring first year lifeguards at $9.00 per hour. Today, due to labor shortages, we are starting everyone at $13.00 per hour to stay competitive with the facilities in the area. Labor accounts for 80% of our operating costs during year. Even though our prices have gone up for memberships, they are still lower by percentage than the increase in operating costs.
We look forward to a great 2022 season and hope to see you soon!
