SWIMMING

The Lake Forest Property Owner ’s Association maintains and operates three swimming pools for our members. The original Swim & Racquet Club pool is located at the end of Country Club Drive. This is an Olympic size pool that is used by those members who choose to join the Swim program and the Lake Forest Swim team. There is a playground and volleyball court adjacent to the pool in addition to picnic tables and charcoal grills. The Recreation Building is adjacent to the pool with lockers, showers, games, and other services available to the members.

The Ridgewood Blvd Pool is an excellent pool with diving board and a separate toddler pool. In the 2006 swim season, this will be the pool that is open to all property owners at no charge from Tuesday – Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays there will be a small $2.00 charge for those members who do not have an annual pool membership and $4.00 for guests. There is a very nice playground adjacent to this pool and on the other side are several basketball goals on an asphalt parking lot.  The pool this year has received a new pump and filter, so we can expect a fun-filled year without interruptions.

The Montclair Pool is a lovely, somewhat smaller pool that is perfect for families with small children. At least a third of the pool is very shallow making for a lot of fun for the younger ones. There is a playground that received in the Spring of 2004 some nice new equipment.  Picnic tables and charcoal grills are located at this pool, also. This pool is open to members who join the Swim program or any member in good standing can use the pool for a $2.00 daily fee.
