If you want to swim for the day, it costs $8 for adults 14 and over. For kids 13 and under, the cost is $4 per day.
Children under 4 are required to wear rubber pants, which are available for $1.
No flotation devices or toys are allowed inside the pool.
Monthly and yearly memberships are also available, but the costs vary. Two adults and their kids can swim and use the exercise equipment at both rec centers for $50 per month for Mission Viejo residents, or $550 per year. There's an enrollment fee, too. To learn more, check the membership website.
