Conestoga’s pricing varies on a yearly basis.  An initiation fee and bond must be purchased when joining the Club (the bond will be returned upon resigning from the club). There are additional membership add-on options 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.  The 2026 membership types and costs are below.

All members and their guests must check in with a staff member at the front desk every time they enter the pool grounds and must check out at the desk upon leaving the Club. Guest passes may be purchased via your eSoft Planner account.  Non-member Radnor Township residents may only come to the Club as guests 3 times per year.

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.  The swim test is considered pass/fail at the sole discretion of the administering staff member. Guards are happy to offer feedback to those who do not pass and lessons are available.  Swimmers may take the test up to three times per day, at the discretion and availability of the staff/management. There are no appeals of the staff decision. This is for the safety of all swimmers.

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.

Stopping or resting will be considered an unsuccessful test.  Parents are requested to stay off the pool deck during the test in order to avoid distraction and improper assessment of swimmers’ abilities.

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.

All Family Groups at Conestoga must have a ‘responsible individual” identified. These are adults who can be relied upon to ensure the safety of any children in the Family Group and who are considered the responsible party for the actions of the children or of their guests. “Responsible Individual” is defined as a parent, guardian or family member over the age of 18.
