The Haverford Faculty Swimming Club invites
members of the Haverford and Bryn Mawr College communities
to join for the summer season of 2008. The pool is a delightful
place to cool off during the hot summer months.
Unfortunately, as we are at our maximum membership limit, the Swimming Club will
not be accepting any new non-campus memberships for the 2008
season. There is not a waiting list, but inquiries regarding the 2009 season can be
directed to
the club Membership Secretary (listed at the bottom of this page) beginning in March of next year.

For current membership rates, please contact Douglas S. Davis
(dsdavis@haverford.edu),
the club Membership Secretary.
Lap Swim:
One lane will be available at all times for adults-only lap
swimming.
Supervision of Children:
All children 12 years of age and younger must be supervised
by a parent or caregiver at all times. Unless specifically
listed on the family membership application, caregivers must
check in with the lifeguard upon arrival at the pool.
Toys and Floatation Devices:
Toys and inflatables are allowed in the small (kiddie) pool.
NO INFLATABLES allowed in large pool (The only exception would
be bathing suits where floatation is sewn in to the suit.) Toys
allowed in the large pool: soft balls (when pool is not to crowded),
diving sticks, diving rings, and other diving toys that sink,
not float.
Guest Policy During Regular Hours:
The guest fee is $2 per person per visit. Members must pay for
their guests at the time they arrive and inform the lifeguard
as to their guest’s swimming ability. All guests must be
accompanied by their host member(s) at all times. Please
remember that a guest is considered to be an individual outside
the member household.
Parties:
Members may rent the pool outside of regular hours for $40 per
hour plus $1 per person (up to $50). Please make arrangements
directly with Rich (RDKOSH@aol.com).
Swimming Lessons:
Our Lifeguard will offer swimming classes Monday through Friday
for two or three weeks toward the end of June. These dates are
not set at this point, so please contact Rich (RDKOSH@aol.com)
to determine the exact times and dates, and to sign up your
child for lessons. Your child must be tall enough to stand in
the shallow end of the pool with his/her head above water.
Location:
The pool can be seen near the lower left corner of the map at
the following link, just above number 36:

Parking:
Swim club members and their guests must follow the same rules
as all others parking on campus. Please obey the posted signs
indicating the status of parking spots/lots. The "South
Parking Lot" (number 53 on the map at the link in the above
section) is always open to visitor parking.
To Join:
Last year's members will receive their membership application
in the mail in early April. New members should contact Douglas
S. Davis (dsdavis@haverford.edu),
the club Membership Secretary, in order to receive the membership
materials. Bi-College members ONLY are permitted to pay their
fees in three equal monthly installments, but we strongly encourage
you to pay in full in order to reduce the Secretary’s bookkeeping
tasks (and to prevent your forgetting to pay!). If you do require
a monthly payment plan, the first payment is due with the application,
and the others on July 1 and August 1. We do not send reminder
statements.
Membership Cards:
Membership cards are not issued. Simply show up at the pool
and let the lifeguard know your name. He/she will verify that
you are on the membership roster.
