Economics
It is the same for golf. I believe the assumption is that for most couples (not all) that one of the two is the one who uses it the most (golf or pool) and the other one comes along occasionally. If they changed to pricing it per person they would not lower the single price they would raise the couple price and then it would not be worth the price for the second half of the couple to join.
Thus, they make more revenue by lowering the price for the second person of the household because they at least get $60 vs nothing.
So in your example, it’s $200 for the first person and $60 for the second. I’ve been paying single rates for 20 years and I’ve come to grudgingly accept this. It is economics. Not discrimination.
