  1. This sentence is okay - and yes, "money" can be (and usually is) omitted - but I would word it like this:

I'd like to know how much it costs (for me) to use the swimming pool.

  1. No. Consider this sentence:

I'd like to ask how much it costs for me to use the swimming pool.

  1. This sentence is almost correct; it just needs a few adjustments:
