It is not really surprising to anyone when against the background of the heavy rain that befalls us in the hot summer months and jellyfish that are already on the beaches, there is a great demand for entry to pools around the country.
Just last week, we published in "Israel Today" that with all the economic decrees that have befallen us this summer, there are also the costs of entering the pools, which have jumped by about 10% compared to last year.
This time we focused on the entrance costs to the various pools in the center of the country, and we discovered that the price range is wide and can range from NIS 50 to NIS 100 for an adult in the middle of the week and from NIS 70 to NIS 125 on Saturday.
The price per child is NIS 100-50 per child in the middle of the week and NIS 125-60 at the weekend. The gaps are very large, so it is very worthwhile to compare prices. In addition, the definition per child varies between different pools. Some do not charge until age Two years and there are those who do not charge until the age of 3 or charge a nominal fee, so you should check this out.
Those who want to save, will be able to buy tickets for the various pools, which can lower the cost, but even when buying these tickets you should do a smart calculation, since those who do not use the full ticket, will lose money.
It should be noted that as part of the Tel Aviv mayor's cost of living plan, municipal country club prices have been reduced.
In addition, in the summer there will be free entry to the pool for digital card holders or entry for NIS 25.
For example, a subscription for a couple and two children in the north and center of the city is offered at a discount of about 15%.
This is NIS 9,095 instead of NIS 10,700.
In the south of the city, in the east and in Jaffa, a 25% discount is offered, ie NIS 4,455 instead of NIS 5,940.
The one-time entrances were also reduced.
For example, in Country L., Tel Aviv Towers, Country C, Hashmonaim and Remez-Arlozorb, the entrance fee for an adult has been reduced from NIS 76 to NIS 65 for an adult and from NIS 91 to NIS 75 on weekends.
A new option for saving the cost of the pools is through Funfit, a card loaded via an app for about 250 pools and attractions for children and adults, which gives up to 40% discount on entry to the various attractions throughout the country.
This is a minimum claim of NIS 300.
As for the various water parks in the center of the country, the full prices are NIS 142-126.
The price in Yamit 2000 is 126 shekels or 101 through the website.
The price in Shefayim is NIS 139 and in Dimension NIS 142.
In Yamit 2000 and in Shefayim, family tickets can also be purchased.
It should be noted that these prices are the full prices and that there are discounts through workers' committees and various consumer clubs.
For example, your club members can purchase a ticket to the Yamit 2000 water park or to Dimension for NIS 59.
Ashmoret Club members can purchase a ticket for Shefayim for NIS 86 or NIS 78 for Ashmoret credit card holders.
A member club offers a ticket for Limit 2000 for NIS 61, for Dimension for NIS 73 and for Shefayim for NIS 84.
Those who prefer to indulge in a fun day at the pool in the various hotels will find that many hotels do not allow one-time entry in the summer, and those that do - charge astronomical prices.
For example, the one-time entrance fee to the pool at the Dan Tel Aviv Hotel will be NIS 250 for an adult or a child from the age of two.
The Daniel Hotel in Herzliya charges NIS 200 for an adult or a child from the age of two.
