The schedule and hours are a bit wonky and to make matters worse Google Maps has erroneous hours listed, but no biggie, we figured it out. Lifeguard staff is observant and doesn't tolerate nonsense, the place is clean and the clientele is outstanding. Also, the concession stand is very good with a variety of options, even healthy option like salads. We love this place. Five stars. Best of Yardley/LMT, without a doubt.

The town pool is a special place. A laboratory where kids learn to socialize, how to play games,…read morehow to swim, and in some cases practice 'other' behaviors. Cheltenham has high school and property tax rates. Although I was well past school age when we moved here the schools consistently get good reviews in the various reviews. The snow gets cleared, we have good volunteer fire services and the cops are decent - I even got off for a flagrant violation once I think in equal parts due to my sparse gray hair and my address in Cheltenham. Since then I've been good on the roads! Something else our high taxes buy is is a wonderful library system (3 or 4 I believe) and great parks and recreation. We live between the two pools here - Conklin and the Glenside pool. The Conklin pool is bigger and has it's own parking as well as an on site ice cream truck that the woman who ran the snack bar have upgraded to for 2014. They also have pizza and other foods as well as sweets. The best part of Conklin is the cool crystal clear water. Loads of it! Nice steps so when one feels like slow immersion that's an option. Twin diving boards and deeper sections for those occasions when rapid cooling is imperative. Skilled life guards who jump into action fast - even if a guy horsing around with his companions says 'help' they leap into action rather then waiting to assess the situation from the deck. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes annoying calls of marco ... polo and a range of races and ages that spans the globe joining you in the pool, moms drying tots with huge towels and teens on towels up hill 'sunbathing' If you live in Cheltenham it's not too costly to get in and if you don't live here well, we're a friendly bunch in Cheltenaham so make a new friend. BTW, nothing wrong with the Glenside pool - i's just smaller and harder to park at - if you have kids Glenside has nice slides to enjoy. Both pools are adjacent to playgrounds and picnic areas with grills.

Conklin Pool is one of two pools operated by Cheltenham Township, the other being the Glenside…read morePool. Pool memberships are available only to township residents, although non-residents may use the pool as the guest of a resident. Compared to the Glenside Pool, Conklin has bigger grounds, and a private parking lot, where Glenside has only on-street parking. The atmosphere at the pool is relatively mellow and family-oriented. Although there are many kids, most are there with their parents, so they aren't too obnoxious. The lifeguards call Adult Swim for 15 minutes once an hour in the main pool, which I've never seen at the Glenside Pool. One thing that bothered me was that at the baby pool I watched two different lifeguards letting themselves get very distracted for extended periods of time. If you see this, I encourage you to mention it to a supervisor, because it is really too important to shrug off.

Warning to all: don't hire ever hire Cascade Pool Service in Glenside, PA. Several of the employees…read more are quite nice , but the owner, who identified himself only as Paul, is either the rudest and most unprofessional business owner ever or he's remarkably adept at weaseling out of financial responsibility for his company's incompetence by finding a reason to blame the customer. Long story short: we hired Glenside to close our pool last autumn, and the workers made a mistake that wound up breaking our pool pump motor. We reported it to Cascade Pools and sent pictures, as requested, at the time of the closing, but only confirmed that the mistake had broken the motor when our longtime pool guy opened the pool. It was urgent to get the pump running, so when we called Glenside and they were closed, our longtime pool person had to set up a temporary emergency fix to get it running in time for an event. Cascade Pools owner, Paul, called the next day, and oddly, quickly became defensive and incensed that someone else had helped us set up a quick fix to temporarily get it working, talking over me to hammer home that he wasn't paying for someone else's work (which I hadn't asked for) --and then, in a huff, hung up on me and refused to talk further. It's quite amazing: HIS company broke MY motor, but in the course of this brief and extremely unpleasant exchange, he shrilly demanded I explain myself, self-righteously accused me of an 'attitude' he embodied perfectly, refused to give me enough space to talk or actually listen, and then childishly hung up on me. My heart goes out to his employees; Iit must be a nightmare to work for him. In any case, Cascade Pools doesn't deserve anyone's business.

On Labor Day weekend I took my 11 year old son who has autism, with me to the Glenside Pool…read morebecause he loves to be in the water. We got there early in hopes of having an enjoyable day. Sadly, that day took a negative and very disrespectful turn for the worse due to an encounter with a older gentleman who made unnecessary derogatory comments to my autistic child, which were heard by pool goers. On this day, there was hardly anyone in the pool at the time of the incident and my son was in a small area of the pool. I was sitting on the edge of the pool watching my son when this man swam near him and started talking (I couldn't hear what he was saying) then he said loudly "Does this kid speak English?" I said "Sir my son has autism" and then he complained that he was trying to swim and he wasn't moving out of his way. So I asked my son to move towards me. The point is that this man could have easily swam around my son and or dealt with this in a more appropriate and sensitive manner. He totally embarrassed me with this unnecessary confrontation which was loud enough for others around us to hear. It tarnished my experience at the pool. This same man surprisingly did the exact same thing last year and even complained to the lifeguards that he was trying to swim and my son was in his way! I had told him then that my son had autism and he made no move to apologize for his insensitive comments and or behavior. As a resident of Cheltenham Township I do not feel that I or my disabled child, who has limited communication skills, should be subjected to unreasonable and insensitive experiences like this. If you have a special needs child, be vigilant. I complained to the Township.

Perhaps the most beautiful pool in N. America!…read more Lap-swim friendly in 2023: The only public pool in Philly where one can swim laps. There are three permanently roped off, 50m-long lap swim lanes! It's big: Olympic sized (50m x 25 m). It's free: No charge! Capacity & time limits: Sometimes when it's really crowded (eg, hot and sunny weekend afternoons), a line forms outside the pool, because they limit capacity to a number that lifeguards can safely support. When there's a line, every 20 or 30 minutes, they'll ask everyone in the pool to leave the pool grounds, and then they'll invite the next batch of people to enter the pool grounds. If there's a line, you could try to ask the gatekeeper if they can say when they'll next clear the pool, so that you could decide whether to enter for that bit of remaining time or wait to enter with the next batch for the full time limit. Family friendly up to a limit: lots of big kids, little kids, babies. I'd guess the pool is 4 feet at the shallowest. There is no wading pool. Fun for grownups to hang out (in 2023): this season they've instituted adults-only hour on weekdays, 6-7 pm. I think kids can continue to hang out on land, but can't be in the pool after 6 pm. Showers are meh: There are 4 outdoor, totally exposed showers (and no indoor or private showers) and their drains tend to swamp with standing water, so you'll want to rinse your feet separately if you shower when exiting. They don't mind if you shampoo and soap in those outdoor showers. Also it sucks that they leave the showers on continuously, wasting hundreds of gallons of water per day. Great setting: Ample parking. Next to beautiful Please Touch Museum, lots of beautiful, soft, green grass for sitting or laying on, and the pool is surrounded by Fairmount Park's acres of picnicking lawn. The rules are pretty standard: wear a swimsuit, no floats. The only things that would make this pool better: more life guards to increase capacity, add a wading pool, add a snack stand (but then they'd always be overcrowded, so they'd have to hire even more lifeguards), let people use floats during adult hour. And clear the shower drain and fix the shower controls so we don't have to waste water and leave them on all day.

My daughter and I knew we would love COA when we first toured it with Ms Sandra the director. My…read moredaughter started her learning path with COA September of this year. She's a preK student. She has two great teachers by the name of Ms Amanda and Ms Angie, my daughter admires these two women so much. Learning: her teachers have broaden her knowledge on so many things from counting, problem solving, expressing herself, learning the letters in the alphabet and not just by singing them. She's learning how to tell the difference between lower case and upper case letters. Learning about her body parts and how they function. To even diving into fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Going over the roles people play in our community was another. There's much more but that's all I can think of. Events: the events they have are great and brings a huge smile to the little one's faces which just warms our heart. Child updates: I enjoy receiving daily updates and pictures of what my child is doing in preK as well! Another main reason I chose COA Security system: what COA has in place is great and is another main reason why I chose COA. Everyone that we personally have encounters with at COA has been nothing but friendly, kind, sincere, caring, compassionate, and respectful. To name a few of course her teachers Ms Amanda, Ms Angie, then there's Ms Sandra, Ms Daina, Mr Mark, the Chef and the front desk lady (sorry if I spelled anyones name wrong). There's so many others too I just unfortunately don't know everyone's names. I love how COA promotes a supportive learning environment, academics, social, emotional, physical fitness, and health development. I believe their motto is "Mind and Body Matters." Which you can see throughout their curriculum. My daughter loves going to school. I know she feels valued, respected, and safe. The kids are great too, she's made so many friends. Never not once heard anything bad about what other kids do to each other or to her. Once my youngest turns 3 I will definitely apply for her to attend preK here at COA too. Thanks COA team for making Olivia's preK journey so far extraordinary. Ps - so sorry for the rant!

The first year we were there it was fine. Ms. Charlene was the best teacher we could ever ask for…read more There were some red flags that we realized but nothing too serious until when Ms. Charlene would call off and there was a sub, all hell broke loose. I watched as she would drag the kids because she was trying to clean. But the second a parent walked in she could somehow pick them up gently? By the time my baby went to toddler B, which had no Ms. Charlene I will add, it got worse. There was a video them reading to the kids and there was a split couple of seconds where a little boy started hitting my daughter. Instead of doing anything the teacher recording chose to cut out my daughter who was getting hit and tackled while the other teacher continued reading like nothing happened. They had more slides that showed my daughter still being hit and they just ignored it. There were a couple instances where my daughter would come home with bumps, like she got hit or somrthing, on her face and when I would ask what happened all of the teachers would say they don't know what happened and they weren't in class at the time. No accountability at ALL!!! Finally for a good year I've been paying almost $300 per day after coverage by CCIS, I voiced my concerns since i was even getting charged when my daughter was absent due to getting sick. After I got approved and it was her last month in Children of America. They called me and my husband saying that they can lower the co pay to $50 and if it was too much we can even lower it to $30. Where was that when I was spending almost a grand per week? Now that I'm leaving you want to help me out? If it wasn't for Ms Charlene trust me, my daughter would be out a long time ago. The teachers for the toddler class has put me on edge, are rude to me, my husband, and my kids who pick up my daughter. They don't watch my kid at all even with me paying a $300 for co pay a day!!! I should've pay more close attention to the red flags a long time ago.
