What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for this club are highly polarized. On one hand, many members laud its extensive amenities, which include multiple pools, tennis courts, a playground, a snack bar, and storage room rentals, describing it as generally uncrowded, friendly, and a relaxing place for families. Some appreciate the long-standing membership tradition and the variety of activities available. On the other hand, significant criticism is directed at recent changes in management and coaching staff. Complaints include the board forcing out experienced coaches, new coaches exhibiting punitive behavior (e.g., making teams swim excessive laps for not winning meets), and severe incidents such as a swim coach fat-shaming a child, leading to an eating disorder. There are also reports of a new dive coach showing favoritism, causing families to leave and swim teams to drop divisions. Some reviewers also expressed frustration over their critical, but allegedly truthful, reviews being reported as inaccurate.

Haha! Someone tried to report my review because it was “grossly inaccurate” Been members 1988, so not since 1956! My parents were members and then I took over the membership, you do the math? was a great place to be until the board started forcing old coaches out. There were amazingly supportive coaches, until the coaches were changed. Monday practices always sucked because a coach would be upset the team didn’t win the Saturday meets. would make the whole team swim crazy laps after not performing well at swim meets? Why punish a group of kids for your lack of coaching??swim coach fat shamed my child so much that she developed an eating disorder that required residential treatment… have the medical documents/text messages/recordings to prove it. Swim team dropped several divisions because of coach too… The dive coach was amazing until she was replaced by a board member’s favorite club coach. Club coach was extremely stand-offish and only paid attention to her favorite. After being at the club for a good a long time we had to leave for our own sanity. Reporting a review because a business doesn’t like the truth is not a good reason to report it.

Even for a Saturday it wasn't crowded at all when we went. Was able to find lawn chairs for our stuff easily and to sit. Staff and the guests there were friendly. There is something to do for everyone even if you don't swim. They have tennis courts, a ping pong table, a mini playground, and snack bar, and of course 3 different size pools. My family and I had a great time there.

Best place to sun like a lizard. Has everything you need and you can rent a storing room to keep your things in so you don't have to cart up and down all the time. Drinks and snacks are sold there and when the kids have to be out the pool to rest the adults can climb in without tramma

Great community pool right on sleepy hollow road! There are several pools, lots of tennis courts, other amenities, and plenty of parking. Highly recommend it!
