agree  Max Nuijens, MSc: "10" belongs to "beurtenkaart" in the source. Like "10-beurtenkaart". This solution allows integrating "10" and possibly other numbers as well.

neutral  Textpertise: With Max - that would be fine too. There is nothing in the term 10-beurtenkaart which means that it relates to a session as such. It is literally a ticket for ten "turns" at something.

Explanation:
Although Wikipedia is not really an authority, it does tend to indicate terms which are generally current.

That was for "beurtkaart" in general. In your specific sentence, I would consider just saying a 10-admission ticket or a 10-admission card or a 10-admission pass. There would be no need to be hidebound about it as long as you convey the meaning. BTW it is nice to meet you in this forum :-)

neutral  writeaway: sounds like a ticket that can be used for multiple attractions /yes but this is for a swimming pool

  -> You could have a 10-beurtenkaart for a fun-fair which would entitle you to ten rides. Ten-session card is fine too, as I said in my comment on Max's comment. However, there is nothing generic in the term which implies "sessions".

Multiple-use swim pass


Explanation:
I am combining the two previous answers, but don't accuse me of plagiary.

But it is just that, a ticket to enter a public swimming pool, 7 times for example, in one week, or 20 times in one month.

Multiple-access card (10)


Explanation:
I would access rather than use because the card is used to access the swimming pool. Then put the number in brackets.
