The memberships include everything and none require a contract. You can pay longer term to get the best price or just get a temporary membership as well. If you're over 60 check into Silver Sneakers which pays for you, and Silver and Fit which pays for all but $50/year! The memberships include 3 free orientations with the personal trainers that make it worth every penny. Aside from walking in the pool you might also benefit from having access to the hot tub, sauna, steam room, Nautilus type machines for upper body and core, etc., classes that include gentle stretching and a lot of other options. Then there's huge smoothies at the Fuel Bar... fruity, vanilla and chocolate protein powder choices and they start at $3.50 and $4! If you are a local you can get a free 3 day pass!. The place sells itself so they don't mind letting you try it!
No, you can get one though and use it for the pool only, if you choose.
