This is a great swim club! There are a variety of pools for all ages and swim levels. We love going here and so does our son.

I have no complaints, but this one lifeguard Lindsay was so rude. She was constantly yelling at…read morekids for no reason, like for swimming with a ball. She was so ill-mannered that all she did was blow her whistle and complain under her breath. However, this one lifeguard, Brigid, was so kind. She even made sure that everyone, including myself, was safe and cared for. I completely recommend meeting lifeguard Brigid, hence she make my day. I gave the NGP 4 stars due to the fact that lifeguard Lindsay was so rude. Watch out for her when you plan to visit this establishment!

This is our fifth summer at this pool. For the price you pay, which is much cheaper than the other…read morepools we looked at, I think it's a good deal. We've always been able to find chairs, though I always bring my own anyway just in case. The staff is firm with the rules, like no running on the concrete deck and making sure you have your membership cards with you. Personally, I like that the staff are watching everyone and keeping the rules enforced. There are always people who get pissy about having their children corrected when they break rules, and certainly there are always people at the pool who think rules only exist for everyone else. The pool has always been clean, the staff patrols the area and the lifeguards are attentive, and the whole area is nicely kept. We live in Upper Dublin and drive 20 minutes to this pool every day because it's a much better deal and my kids love the water slides and snack shack (though the snack shack is outside the pool club, but they can walk there in one minute). Overall, we've been happy there and plan to continue going!

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.
