One day, driving through Broomall, I saw a sign for this place, and decided to check it out. Whoa! What a miracle! A big swim club hidden in these small backroads. The next day we were registered for only 400$. That's amazing as far as main line prices go! They had a great waterside, diving boards, lap pool, and snack bar!!!! I would TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!! Our kids are grown up now and we are in NJ, but I actually would move bak here just for MNSC!

Great neighborhood pool, good for new swimmers, splash pad, water slide great for all ages.read more

One of the many great reasons to be an Ardmorian would be that we have one of the Great Deals of…read morethe Century: The Ardmore Avenue Pool. This pool, completely renovated in 2004, is large enough to have fun but small enough to be able to spot your young 'un from anywhere you sit. The entrance is through Vernon Young Park, another gem with a full kids' playground, basketball & tennis courts, a large playing field for baseball, flag football, soccer, etc. and the Ardmore Avenue Community Center. So, if the young un's don't want to swim, they can play too. When you enter, you pass through either the male or female changing areas complete with lockers and showers as well as restrooms. There are two pools - a good sized toddler pool with a zero step entry, water spouts and a water mushroom play feature. Maximum depth 18 inches. Then there is the 'larger' pool, also with a zero step entry, a water slide and maximum depth of 5'. Separating the two are a low fence, some bushes, and a shade awning over some grass. Surrounding both pools are picnic tables with umbrellas. Water toys are permitted in the baby pool area. The pools are staffed with lifeguards who change station regularly to stay alert. There is no snack bar, which is in some ways a blessing (no $9 fries!). Many of the local restaurants deliver 'to the pool', and if you want you can easily leave and walk to many of them too. Parking? Well, that's the one star off. It's street only, and it can be a bit of a challenge. I don't want them to make a parking lot by any means, but it does take away from the experience. Also, you bring your own chairs, blankets, etc, which can make for a haul. Maybe the Township will get wise and start a business to rent chairs on site (hint, hint). Now, the thing that makes this really GREAT. The cost to join? For a family of four, residents of the Township, about $70. For the season. Really. Over 65 year old residents are free. Yes, really. That is not a typo. It's under a hundred dollars. A year. Well, a summer. The pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. (Residents of Narberth Borough can join but at a higher rate as can a limited number of residents in Ardmore, Haverford Township, again at a higher rate.) Like I said, one of the Great Deals of the Century. Here in wonderful Ardmore.

This is a plus for those of us who don't just splash around, but go for the workout. Every weekday morning from 6:50-10:30, the lap pool is open for the perfect summer workout. Pull buoys and kickboards aplenty at no extra charge! Also, a permanent timing clock. There's a 1000 lap club, so you get public recognition once you've completed the feat. After 10:30, all the pools are open - the lap pool, the kiddie pool, and the main pool, which has plenty of space, including a water basketball hoop and 2 3M springboards. There's lot of grassy space and trees nearby, providing a respite from the hot concrete and blocking some of the sun. There are also tons of sun shades. Also, there's a nearby playground, and lots of picnic table space. Best of all, there is an annual water ballet. Talk about community building! Luckily, my BF's family is very generous with their passes, so I haven't had to pay for a guest pass, which I think is around $7.50. If you're in the area, find someone who's a member so you can join them for some R&R in the cool water. It's easier than finding a house with AC!

We stopped by to get our ID cards today and we stayed for a few hours at the beer garden. A very nice and welcome addition to this club. My family went here when I was younger and I've been coming here for the past few years. It always had the same feel as it did when I was a kid, but the new Beer garden is a welcome change. The staff have always been friendly and the snack bar is a pretty solid place to get food. We occasionally get something small to munch on, but we're big fans of their water ice.

As a former Member, of the Board of Directors I would like to say many of the concerns, and…read morecomplaints, have been addressed over the past two years. The Diving Pool was completely rebuilt over the winter of 2021-2022, ALL of the filters were replaced as they were at the end of their life. The locker/ shower rooms were also redecorated and rearranged over the winter of 2019-2020. This winter, 2022, it is planned to completely rebuild the mid-sized pool with other sundry improvements. More Trees have been planted on the Ball Field side of the pools. In all, the physical plant has undergone some very expensive upgrades over the past few years. As far as people using abusive, foul language, we really can't stop that BUT, you do have the right to ask others to keep it civil. Personally, I find the use of foul language to be offensive and uncalled for, and unacceptable!!!!!!!!!! We do try and keep the place as clean as possible but were not magicians and in all honesty, we can't do it alone. As members, it is YOUR club too and your responsibility to help keep it clean! Thanks, Terry

If you're a resident of Lower Merion Township, by all means purchase a season pass. It could be a…read more bit pricey (unless you're a senior) but when it's hot -- as I write this it's 105 degrees -- there's really nothing better than hanging out at the pool. There are plenty of shaded areas. Three pools, too. A lap pool for adults, a big raucous one that everyone can use, and a tot pool for kids in diapers. The main pool has a curlicue water slide and there's a mushroom-shaped sprinkler in the baby pool. Belmont Hills is staffed by teenaged lifeguards who from my vantage seem pretty responsible. The bathroom is clean, there are changing booths, also a concession stand with ice cream and pizza. You have to be a member to use the pool. Guests, accompanied by members, pay $12 on weekends, $10 during the week. The pool is open until 8 p.m. Know that you have to bring your own beach chairs. Most of us leave them on the premises for the season. We were advised to attach our two chairs with a bicycle chain to discourage anyone from using them. It gets really busy on the weekend with parking at a premium. However, one can use the neighboring library lot with a staircase that leads down to the pool. I've met some really nice people here, which has been a delightful and added bonus.
