About Membership

Thank you for inquiring about Conestoga Swim Club.

To apply, you must be a resident of Radnor Township. Please email us for a registration form and then complete it with signatures from three members who know you. The application then gets mailed to us at which time you will be added to our wait list, which is about 2-3 years at this point in time. You will not hear from us until your name rises up that list to the point we can invite you to join. At that time you may accept or decline. If you decline your name is removed from the wait list.

We look forward to having you as part of Conestoga Swim Club.

Our pricing is approximately $275 per family member over age 2. There is also an initiation fee of $1200 ($175 of which is a bond) when you first become members (the bond will be returned upon resigning from the club) There are additional fees for tennis, paddle tennis and the swim team should any family member wish to participate in those sports. The fees applicable at the time you accept membership will prevail which will supersede any pricing shown here.

All members and their guests must check in with a staff member at the front desk every time they enter the pool grounds. Guest passes may be purchased via the member login portal.

All children under 12 years of age must be able to pass the Deep-Water Test in order to swim past the first rope without an adult, and also to access the diving board and slide.

The following criteria are required to pass the Deep-Water Test. There will be no exceptions, as this is a safety rule. Guards are happy to offer feedback to those who do not pass, and these members are encouraged to try passing the test again on another day.

The test includes:

1. A non-stop freestyle swim of 1½  laps;
2. Pause for water treading for 60 seconds; and
3. A final ½  lap of freestyle swimming.

Keep in mind this is a continuous test.  Stopping or resting will be considered an unsuccessful test.  Also, only one attempt a day to pass the test will be permitted.

Finally, parents are required to stay off the pool deck during the test.

Swimmers who want to take the test are to go to the front desk and ask to take the test.  The test will be administered as soon as the lap lane is clear and personnel are available. Swimmers who pass the test must wear their deep-water wristbands at all times while at the pool.

While we will always have lifeguards on duty, members must take responsibility for not only their own safety but for their family members as well, especially small children. CSC follows the Arm’s Length Rule, which applies to all children 5 years of age and younger. This means that at all times, an adult must be within an arm’s length of a child who is 5 or under. Sitting on the deck or the steps does not meet these criteria; the adult must be in the pool with your young child. No flotation devices are permitted at any time. Parents are also responsible for their children in the baby pool and anywhere on the CSC property.

Remember that guards are there for the safety of all members. Please do not speak to or distract them when they are at their posts. The pool manager will be solely responsible for the placement of lifeguards in compliance with CSC policies, Radnor Township Ordinances, and applicable PA State laws. If you have a question or comment about the guards, please go to the front desk and speak to the manager on duty.

Alcoholic beverages are prohibited, with the exception of CSC-sanctioned gatherings.

It is the policy of Conestoga Swim Club that any child requiring diapers or training pants MUST wear vinyl pants while swimming in any pool.  It is the sole responsibility of the parent, guardian or other adult in attendance with the child to comply with this policy.

Violation of this policy will result in the following corrective action steps.

1st violation – Verbal warning, reiteration of policy and dismissal for the remainder of the day or until vinyl pants are presented.

2nd violation – One week suspension of membership for entire family, including swim team activities at CSC.

3rd violation – Season long suspension of membership for the entire family, including swim team activities at CSC.

PLEASE NOTE:

• CSC members are responsible for compliance with this policy by any and all guests under their account.  This includes grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, etc.
• Violation by a guest translates to above corrective action taken upon the CSC family of record in the guest book.
• Parents or guardians are required to provide the appropriate attire.  CSC will not supply or sell vinyl pants.
• No refund of paid dues will be extended to any account for lost time as a result of this policy.
• Any account that incurs step number three above may be subject to future revocation of membership in CSC.
