The lifeguards are attentive, for the most part, and I feel safe letting the kids swim in the pool. They check the pH levels frequently which makes me feel better about the sanitary conditions. The pool is just one of the many reasons we love the Williamsburg community, and I'm so happy to call this great neighborhood home!

It is a place where they only want money but do not put safety first. I wanted to sign my kid to a…read moreswim team. Then I have to first pay a membership fee for the kid. Then I also paid for the swim team fee. Since it was just within 3 business days before the swim team started, I also paid a late fee, plus a processing fee. However, on the first day of the swim, I found out my daughter who is 13 and short, being assigned to a 15-19-year-old team without parent permission. I told 9oaks that raises safety concerns, and I couldn't go with 9oaks, I asked for a full refund. Then 9oaks only return me half of the membership fee and half of the swim team fee, they keep the late fee and processing fee as well. I think within 3 days, they did not assign a team appropriately, which is a safety concern, I have to quit; it is reasonable to ask for a full refund.

Only catch is you have to walk down steps, there is no graded area. Area is beautifully landscaped under trees. Very relaxing. There is a fully stocked snack bar and there are picnic tables nearby. Occasionally they have movie nights or other events. The swim team is the Gators. Definitely a great community pool

One of the many great reasons to be an Ardmorian would be that we have one of the Great Deals of…read morethe Century: The Ardmore Avenue Pool. This pool, completely renovated in 2004, is large enough to have fun but small enough to be able to spot your young 'un from anywhere you sit. The entrance is through Vernon Young Park, another gem with a full kids' playground, basketball & tennis courts, a large playing field for baseball, flag football, soccer, etc. and the Ardmore Avenue Community Center. So, if the young un's don't want to swim, they can play too. When you enter, you pass through either the male or female changing areas complete with lockers and showers as well as restrooms. There are two pools - a good sized toddler pool with a zero step entry, water spouts and a water mushroom play feature. Maximum depth 18 inches. Then there is the 'larger' pool, also with a zero step entry, a water slide and maximum depth of 5'. Separating the two are a low fence, some bushes, and a shade awning over some grass. Surrounding both pools are picnic tables with umbrellas. Water toys are permitted in the baby pool area. The pools are staffed with lifeguards who change station regularly to stay alert. There is no snack bar, which is in some ways a blessing (no $9 fries!). Many of the local restaurants deliver 'to the pool', and if you want you can easily leave and walk to many of them too. Parking? Well, that's the one star off. It's street only, and it can be a bit of a challenge. I don't want them to make a parking lot by any means, but it does take away from the experience. Also, you bring your own chairs, blankets, etc, which can make for a haul. Maybe the Township will get wise and start a business to rent chairs on site (hint, hint). Now, the thing that makes this really GREAT. The cost to join? For a family of four, residents of the Township, about $70. For the season. Really. Over 65 year old residents are free. Yes, really. That is not a typo. It's under a hundred dollars. A year. Well, a summer. The pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. (Residents of Narberth Borough can join but at a higher rate as can a limited number of residents in Ardmore, Haverford Township, again at a higher rate.) Like I said, one of the Great Deals of the Century. Here in wonderful Ardmore.

Ample parking, plenty of lifeguards and the traditional set up of "the well", the 3' to 5' and a separate kiddie pool.

It could be a…read more bit pricey (unless you're a senior) but when it's hot -- as I write this it's 105 degrees -- there's really nothing better than hanging out at the pool. There are plenty of shaded areas. Three pools, too. A lap pool for adults, a big raucous one that everyone can use, and a tot pool for kids in diapers. The main pool has a curlicue water slide and there's a mushroom-shaped sprinkler in the baby pool. Belmont Hills is staffed by teenaged lifeguards who from my vantage seem pretty responsible. The bathroom is clean, there are changing booths, also a concession stand with ice cream and pizza. You have to be a member to use the pool. Guests, accompanied by members, pay $12 on weekends, $10 during the week. The pool is open until 8 p.m. Know that you have to bring your own beach chairs. Most of us leave them on the premises for the season. We were advised to attach our two chairs with a bicycle chain to discourage anyone from using them. It gets really busy on the weekend with parking at a premium. However, one can use the neighboring library lot with a staircase that leads down to the pool. I've met some really nice people here, which has been a delightful and added bonus.

Thankful we had someone buy the swim club and started making it look amazing. He added two new water slides, leveled out what was a volleyball court and added nee benches and patio to the snack bar.

Most folks are in education which makes it a fun experience. Love this place and look forward to all the memories and additions in the coming years.

The Diving Pool was completely rebuilt over the winter of 2021-2022, ALL of the filters were replaced as they were at the end of their life. The locker/ shower rooms were also redecorated and rearranged over the winter of 2019-2020. This winter, 2022, it is planned to completely rebuild the mid-sized pool with other sundry improvements. More Trees have been planted on the Ball Field side of the pools. In all, the physical plant has undergone some very expensive upgrades over the past few years. As far as people using abusive, foul language, we really can't stop that BUT, you do have the right to ask others to keep it civil. Personally, I find the use of foul language to be offensive and uncalled for, and unacceptable!!!!!!!!!! We do try and keep the place as clean as possible but were not magicians and in all honesty, we can't do it alone. As members, it is YOUR club too and your responsibility to help keep it clean!
