The town pool is a special place. A laboratory where kids learn to socialize, how to play games,…read morehow to swim, and in some cases practice 'other' behaviors. Cheltenham has high school and property tax rates. Although I was well past school age when we moved here the schools consistently get good reviews in the various reviews. The snow gets cleared, we have good volunteer fire services and the cops are decent - I even got off for a flagrant violation once I think in equal parts due to my sparse gray hair and my address in Cheltenham. Since then I've been good on the roads! Something else our high taxes buy is is a wonderful library system (3 or 4 I believe) and great parks and recreation. We live between the two pools here - Conklin and the Glenside pool. The Conklin pool is bigger and has it's own parking as well as an on site ice cream truck that the woman who ran the snack bar have upgraded to for 2014. They also have pizza and other foods as well as sweets. The best part of Conklin is the cool crystal clear water. Loads of it! Nice steps so when one feels like slow immersion that's an option. Twin diving boards and deeper sections for those occasions when rapid cooling is imperative. Skilled life guards who jump into action fast - even if a guy horsing around with his companions says 'help' they leap into action rather then waiting to assess the situation from the deck. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes annoying calls of marco ... polo and a range of races and ages that spans the globe joining you in the pool, moms drying tots with huge towels and teens on towels up hill 'sunbathing' If you live in Cheltenham it's not too costly to get in and if you don't live here well, we're a friendly bunch in Cheltenaham so make a new friend. BTW, nothing wrong with the Glenside pool - i's just smaller and harder to park at - if you have kids Glenside has nice slides to enjoy. Both pools are adjacent to playgrounds and picnic areas with grills.

Conklin Pool is one of two pools operated by Cheltenham Township, the other being the Glenside…read morePool. Pool memberships are available only to township residents, although non-residents may use the pool as the guest of a resident. Compared to the Glenside Pool, Conklin has bigger grounds, and a private parking lot, where Glenside has only on-street parking. The atmosphere at the pool is relatively mellow and family-oriented. Although there are many kids, most are there with their parents, so they aren't too obnoxious. The lifeguards call Adult Swim for 15 minutes once an hour in the main pool, which I've never seen at the Glenside Pool. One thing that bothered me was that at the baby pool I watched two different lifeguards letting themselves get very distracted for extended periods of time. If you see this, I encourage you to mention it to a supervisor, because it is really too important to shrug off.

Also, the concession stand is very good with a variety of options, even healthy option like salads. We love this place. Five stars. Best of Yardley/LMT, without a doubt.

There are three permanently roped off, 50m-long lap swim lanes! It's big: Olympic sized (50m x 25 m). It's free: No charge! Capacity & time limits: Sometimes when it's really crowded (eg, hot and sunny weekend afternoons), a line forms outside the pool, because they limit capacity to a number that lifeguards can safely support. When there's a line, every 20 or 30 minutes, they'll ask everyone in the pool to leave the pool grounds, and then they'll invite the next batch of people to enter the pool grounds. If there's a line, you could try to ask the gatekeeper if they can say when they'll next clear the pool, so that you could decide whether to enter for that bit of remaining time or wait to enter with the next batch for the full time limit. Family friendly up to a limit: lots of big kids, little kids, babies. I'd guess the pool is 4 feet at the shallowest. There is no wading pool. Fun for grownups to hang out (in 2023): this season they've instituted adults-only hour on weekdays, 6-7 pm. I think kids can continue to hang out on land, but can't be in the pool after 6 pm. Showers are meh: There are 4 outdoor, totally exposed showers (and no indoor or private showers) and their drains tend to swamp with standing water, so you'll want to rinse your feet separately if you shower when exiting. They don't mind if you shampoo and soap in those outdoor showers. Also it sucks that they leave the showers on continuously, wasting hundreds of gallons of water per day. Great setting: Ample parking. Next to beautiful Please Touch Museum, lots of beautiful, soft, green grass for sitting or laying on, and the pool is surrounded by Fairmount Park's acres of picnicking lawn. The rules are pretty standard: wear a swimsuit, no floats. The only things that would make this pool better: more life guards to increase capacity, add a wading pool, add a snack stand (but then they'd always be overcrowded, so they'd have to hire even more lifeguards), let people use floats during adult hour. And clear the shower drain and fix the shower controls so we don't have to waste water and leave them on all day.

Lovely setting, great staff, not overcrowded. Great activities: special events, Food Trucks ...read more

Mike came to our house for the consultation and provided an estimate right on the spot. He was great to work with and spent the time to get to know us and how we would use our pool. He educated us about different types of pools, sizes and shapes. Mike also helped us estimate all of the various costs that go into building a pool including the fence, landscaping, permits, concrete, electrical and gas lines. His estimates were very accurate and knowing this information up front helped us plan and understand the total project cost. Mike helped us with every facet of the project, from getting the survey, applying for permits to getting us connected with trusted contractors and making sure we were prepared for the next step. Mike was also great helping us navigate Lower Makefield Township permits process and regulations. Our pool was recently completed and we love it! Mike opened the pool, oriented my wife and I on the maintenance tasks and provided us with helpful instructions. Throughout the whole process Mike has always been a text, email or call away and was super responsive. My wife and I are glad we took the plunge and if we had to do it all over again we 100% would. I highly recommend Mike and the team at Perfect Pools.
