About
Family-friendly spot featuring three pools plus tennis and dive team events.
Specific pool temperatures are not publicly listed by Forest Hill Swim & Tennis Club. As an outdoor, seasonal facility, the water temperature of their pools is generally dependent on ambient weather conditions and is not typically maintained at a specific heated degree.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Forest Hills is a highly-regarded family-friendly club, praised by long-term members for its excellent management, clean facilities, and variety of amenities. It features three pools, including a dedicated adult-only lap pool (eliminating hourly 'adult swim' for kids), a main pool, and a baby/splash pad. The club offers extensive facilities such as 10 well-maintained tennis courts (some with lights), pickleball courts, a sand volleyball court, playground, and basketball courts. Members appreciate the improved landscaping, regular cleaning, numerous events, and the strong community feel, along with competitive swim/dive teams and various leagues. Shade, chairs, and a snack bar are also available. While generally positive, there is a waitlist for membership. One negative guest experience reported unclear tennis court rules and an unwelcoming interaction with an elderly individual, leading to a decision not to join.

Joined this pool 3 years ago and so glad I switched from the pool I had belonged to for over 20 years! My main reason for switching was that my former pool closed every hour to allow adults in for fifteen minutes, and now that my kids are grown I did not like having to get out after only being in for less than fifteen minutes when it reopened to kids. When the kids were in, I think they allowed too many members because the pool was packed, out of control, rules were not being enforced, and on top of that a lap lane was closed off all day every day which shrunk the already small pool as the deep well was always closed off as well. New management at Forest Hills is doing an EXCELLENT job of keeping the pools cleaner as they seem to be vacuumed better, I don't show up to find dead leaves in the adult pool from the day before, and landscaping is much improved, cleaner. Overall, a wonderful family place where everyone can enjoy summer swimming and activities!!!

We have been members for 5 years now and my family loves it more every year. There are 3 pools, 1 baby pool, 1 adult only lap pool and 1 main pool. Since there is a pool dedicated to adults only, there is no "adult swim" forcing all kids out of the pool every hour, which my kids love. The pool is surrounded by trees, providing many areas for shade. I have not utilized the tennis courts beyond a handful of times, but they were well maintained. One of those times, I did use the courts at night by using the court lights. Overall, I would recommend Forest Hill to any family.

Great pool. Awesome splash pad for the little ones. Great community, lots of events over the summer. There's a wait list to become a member, so you may have to join.

Terrible experience - we were guests and my kids were berated by an elderly man, who I can only assume is on staff, for supposedly not following the tennis court rules. They weren't wearing a shirt on the court. It's a pool!!! There are NO "rules" posted, only an "etiquette" of the court sign. DEFINITELY will not be joining. Beware of old, cranky, entitled white males...

Hidden gem within the concrete jungle of Ellicott City & Columbia. Wonderful pool and tennis club with pickle ball and tennis leagues in addition to a competitive but fun swim and dive team. Three pools, 10 tennis courts, sand volleyball court, playground and basketball courts. Chairs onsite and a snack bar!
