Membership Information

Membership Cards will be available at the pool office when the pool is open for the season. Members may pick up their cards any time while the pool is open. If your dues payment has not been processed, your cards will be unavailable and you will not be able to enter the pool grounds.

 All invoices are mailed in March and payment is due April 1st. If you do not receive your invoice by March 15th, please contact Rose Tree Woods.

Water Safety Test
The water safety test is required for children under the age of thirteen before they will be allowed to use the deep water area of the T-pool or the lap pool or the water slide. The water safety test must be renewed annually.
The Deep Water Test will be a 2-part test: two laps of lap pool without a break between laps (with only a touch of the wall when doing laps and not a rest) and
  tread water for 1 minute. Start treading water no more than 30 seconds after completion of 2nd lap.

Any child who has not successfully completed the water safety test must be accompanied by an adult in the T-pool or the lap pool. Upon successful completion of the water safety test, the child will be given a badge which he/she must wear on his/her swim suit at all times. Replacement badges will be available at a fee of $1.00.

Waiting List 
We are currently accepting applications for the waiting list as we are at full membership. To get onto the waiting list you must:

Submit an On-Line Membership Application. Please specify if you are applying for a Bond or August Only membership.
You will receive a confirmation email.
You can pay the $25 non-refundable wait list fee on-line or you can mail it to:

Rose Tree Woods Swim Club
Membership – Wait List
PO Box 78
Broomall, PA 19008

Families will be offered a Bond and/or August membership based on the following prioritization: the date that the wait list fee was processed.

Please note that the wait list fee is necessary to have your name placed on the wait list for either a Bond or August membership. Typically, there are more families on the August wait list than we have August memberships, so without joining the wait list, it is very unlikely that a family will be offered an August membership.
 
Bond Memberships will not be offered to a family unless they are on the wait list.

A previous year's August membership does not place a family on the current wait list.
All new members must be approved by the Board of Directors as outlined in our Bylaws.

 PLEASE NOTE: Families will be offered a Bond and/or an August membership a maximum of two seasons when they are on the wait list. If the membership offer is not taken after the second time, the family will be removed from the wait list, and will have to reapply and pay the wait list fee again if they want to rejoin the wait list.

To sell your bond
You must send an email or a letter prior to April 30st for your bond to be sold before the season.

 Every member must present membership cards upon entering the pool. All dues and late fees must be paid in full before membership cards will be issued. You may be refused entrance without a valid membership card.

 Barcode scanning of membership cards will be used again this season. We now have a database of pool usage so we will be better able to staff and meet our members' needs.

 Membership cards can ONLY be used by the person whose name is printed on the card.

 Babysitters: A babysitter membership is available. The babysitter membership is only $100 for the entire season.

Guest Fees
Guest passes may only be sold to current members, and the member MUST be present with their guests. When the member leaves the pool property, his/her guests must
  leave also.
Pre-season - $5 per person weekdays, $10 weekends
Regular season - $10 per person
After 5 PM any day - $5 per person
Guest pass cards are sold at the office for $50 and are good for 7 uses. Passes must be used only in the season purchased.

General Membership Meetings
There will be two General Membership meetings each summer. The first is typically during Member Appreciation Day. The second is in August. Board of Director Nominations will be accepted at the August meeting. If an election is necessary, voting will end Labor Day.
