They have 3 pools... - Baby pool - The big pool - Adult only pool I usually head for the adult only pool, as it is more my speed, but I'll get in the big pool occasionally. I like that the big pool is usually a little cooler than the adult pool, I guess due to its size. Only draw back - if a kid poops in the baby pool, then it means the big pool is also closed while the pool people shock it. I reckon if there were one thing about the pool I'd change - I'd probably want it to have a little bit of a cooler vibe. Maybe some music or some such? But otherwise, it's great.

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!

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.

Although I…read morehad been inside the facility several times over the years, I had never seen the new outdoor pools and water park theme up close. Have to say that while it appears to be an amusement park from beyond the fence with massive water slides and multiple aquamarine pools for various uses; from within it makes more sense and is actually quite attractive in a hyperactive way. Happy Hour with half price drinks was a good deal, and the bar food offerings were also well designed to complement the alcoholic drinks, if not all that tasty, nor compelling in their own right. So many people in a relatively small space around the bar, that conversation was a bit challenging. Plenty of alternative distractions among the many "beautiful" folks who enjoy being the center of attention, and know how to do it right, especially when encouraged with beverage. With music playing in the background the experience was a mixed bag. Clearly, the plan is a bit over the top, and made for people with kids or those who like this glitterati experience. Yet, there was a full house that evening, and business was booming. Covid put an end to the crowds for the last year, but I suspect the club will be back in action full tilt come vaccinations and reduced mask wearing. I'm the more cautious type, and will wait a while before accepting my next invitation.
