The school year is almost over and here comes the hot summer months. For most of the students, summer means spending the whole day in front of the computer or television, others spend it playing under the sun, in the pool, or hang out with friends. Better yet, enroll in a summer class or visit a relative. Have you planned on how you're going to spend your summer yet?

When summertime finally arrives, it feels like some needed time off. The day lasts longer, there will be no school for the kids, and the weather is typically favorable for heading to a vacation spot.

However, with the rising cost of gasoline and commodities we have to think twice about traveling on a vacation. Instead of traveling, why don't we head out to the beach or to the swimming pool. There are a few aquatic centers in Scottsdale that offers exceptional fun for kids and adults alike. One of the nearby facilities is the McDowell Mountain Ranch Park and Aquatic Center.

McDowell Mountain Ranch Park and Aquatic Center is nestled within the McDowell Mountain Ranch community. This is a 35 acre facility with 4 soccer fields, 2 ball fields, skate parks and of course the much boasted 600 foot lazy river along with tube water slide, diving boards, lap pools and spray pads.

The facility also has a Fitness Center that has machine weights, dumbbells and cardiovascular machines. Moreover, it offers aerobics and a variety of fitness, leisure nutritional and wellness classes. Although anybody can use the fitness center, being a Scottsdale resident does give you a discounted rate.

Summer Family Pass allows families of all sizes an unlimited fitness center visits starting Memorial Day through Labor Day. That would be three months of unlimited fun, fun, and more fun and oh, the huge amount of savings of course.

Scottsdale residents can enjoy the benefits of living in the area. The more frequent you attend, the more savings you'll get. If you are going to sign up for Family Pool Pass which allows up to 4 family members, from the standard pass fee of $400 you can get it for only $140. And for those non-residents who equally enjoy dipping in the lazy river, it was $600, and you can now get this for $210. This sale is only valid until May 31^st. Click here for more information.

This year, the Annual Night Swim will be held in the McDowell Mountain Ranch Park and Aquatic Center on May 18 from 5pm – 9 pm. This will be the only time Public Swim will be offered this summer.

This is a cost-friendly way to entertain kids this summer and for you to relax while the kids are having their fun. A great way to beat the summer heat and to meet up with some friends to spend an afternoon. So pack your best swim gear and get ready for some summer fun at the McDowell Mountain Ranch Park and Aquatic Center.
