Introduction
Any family with a child 17 years and younger, who live within Bloomington City limits, and feels that a fee for a Bloomington Parks and Recreation pool admission would be discriminatory due to financial hardship, may request a waiver of fees for their children.
Requirement and Eligibility
- Proof of income is required for each adult income earner (immediate family member) in
your household: Your most recent income tax return (2024) OR most current month’s pay stubs OR eligibility proof for Monroe County School Corporation Free or Reduced Lunch Program for current school year. - Current statements for:
Child support, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and other assistance programs that show your current benefit amount. - Proof of City Residency is required.

- Your current housing lease or mortgage statement.
- Verification from a residential community, such as the Bloomington Housing Authority,
showing proof of current city residency.
- Requests for youth pool waivers will be approved or denied by the appropriate staff.
