Then I also paid for the swim team fee. Since it was just within 3 business days before the swim team started, I also paid a late fee, plus a processing fee. However, on the first day of the swim, I found out my daughter who is 13 and short, being assigned to a 15-19-year-old team without parent permission. I told 9oaks that raises safety concerns, and I couldn't go with 9oaks, I asked for a full refund. Then 9oaks only return me half of the membership fee and half of the swim team fee, they keep the late fee and processing fee as well. I think within 3 days, they did not assign a team appropriately, which is a safety concern, I have to quit; it is reasonable to ask for a full refund.

For the more active members we offer recently resurfaced volleyball and basketball courts. We also have a fully stocked snack bar that offers both hot and cold items. We have a brand new competitive diving board as well as a double water slide for everyone to enjoy.

This is our fifth summer at this pool. For the price you pay, which is much cheaper than the other…read morepools we looked at, I think it's a good deal. We've always been able to find chairs, though I always bring my own anyway just in case. The staff is firm with the rules, like no running on the concrete deck and making sure you have your membership cards with you. Personally, I like that the staff are watching everyone and keeping the rules enforced. There are always people who get pissy about having their children corrected when they break rules, and certainly there are always people at the pool who think rules only exist for everyone else. The pool has always been clean, the staff patrols the area and the lifeguards are attentive, and the whole area is nicely kept. We live in Upper Dublin and drive 20 minutes to this pool every day because it's a much better deal and my kids love the water slides and snack shack (though the snack shack is outside the pool club, but they can walk there in one minute). Overall, we've been happy there and plan to continue going!

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.

It's good to have that 2nd bar so you don't have to walk through people soaking wet to get a drink. I still used the main bar for most of the night though actually, because I wasn't sure if the tiki bar had all of the same drinks or not. Next time I'll have to try it. The only things that annoyed me were the bartenders weren't consistant, they all charged different prices for the same drink. The drinks are also overpriced and hardly any alcohol in it. The one citron mojito drink I ordered was gross, I should have sent it back. It didn't taste like mojito at all. It had a very faint lemon taste, but most of it tasted like flat/bad club soda. The service was also slow, my friend ended up having to go to the other bar because the bartenders were ignoring her. Next time I will have to try to pregame first. Also the bands/ DJs play mostly wedding type music now it seems. They were playing a lot of older songs, some classic songs, only a few newer songs but they were still a few years old. I like bands that play some top 40 songs. I think if they played more newer songs it would attract more of a crowd also. The first year we came here it seemed fairly crowded with a lot of people by the DJ dancing. Every time we come back it seems like fewer people are there, and hardly anyone is dancing. Also it would be nice if they had bathrooms right by the pool area. It's a pain to have to walk all the way in the building by the casino. Everyone probably pees in the pool because of this. It also would be nice if waiters come around to everyone, not just people that rent cabanas. Also would like a hot tub! Overall we still had a really good time, there's just some things that could be improved. I think this is going to be my last birthday here. But we will still come back another night when we just want to swim and chill.
