Situated on Brooklyn Bridge Road, across from the Supplee Dam (T. Howard Duckett) Recreation area, right at the Montgomery, Prince George's and Howard County lines is the West Laurel Swim Club. This private, community swimming facility has been a popular summertime attraction to local residents for over twenty years, offering a large, private pool in a quiet, relaxing environment. The club is a non-profit organization, not attached to any city or county governments. A small board of directors whose aim is to provide a clean, pleasant swimming atmosphere for all of its members provides oversight.
Being the largest outdoor pool in
the county, it provides more than ample space for casual swimming, as well as
providing lap lanes for the most ardent swimmer. Of course, it comes with a
large diving well, sliding board, and at one end, a roped area that is two to
three feet in depth, for our younger swimmers to play. Vending facilities, a
well-stocked snack bar, clean showers, restrooms and changing areas are
provided. The club sponsors a competitive swim team for children up to 18 years
of age. The swim team had an undefeated year in
2001 as champions of the PrinceMont League. On site professional contractors
provide the operation and management of the club. Swim lessons are provided at a
nominal fee.
Our membership fee is only $375.00, (which is returned when you choose to sell you membership), and a $50.00 non-refundable initiation fee. The 2004 yearly maintenance fee is $325.00, and as a special offer, if you join by April 15th of this year, we will deduct $100.00 from that charge! That's quite a saving. In addition, the refundable membership fee can be paid in monthly installments, if you desire.
All you have to do is call our pool
secretary Betty Mannas at (301) 725-2034 to gain more information about the
pool, as well as enroll for the discount rate. If payment for both the
non-refundable initiation fee and the yearly maintenance fee is received by
April 15th, you qualify for the savings! Don't miss this opportunity
to join the best run, nicest facility of this kind in the tri-county area. Call
today for additional details. Our secretary will be happy to mail you our
information brochure, describing our swim club in detail. You can also email a
request for information to mailto:WLSwimClub@aol.com.
