How to Become a member
Regular Memberships
Find a seller: If you know a current member who is selling, you can negotiate directly with them.
Alternatively, join our waitlist, and we’ll connect you with a seller as soon as one becomes available.
Complete Your Application: Submit your membership application and provide proof of residency for household members.
Megan’s Law Check: All adult members must pass a Megan’s Law background check as part of the application process.
Transfer and Fees: Finalize the sale, pay the transfer fee ($125) and key deposit ($25), and receive your stock certificate.
Prepare for the Season: Pay your annual dues ($575), and sign up for your work project or Gate Guard assignment before the pool opens in April.
Associate Memberships
If a regular membership isn’t immediately available, families at the top of the waitlist may be offered an Associate Membership which is a one-year trial membership. Associate Members enjoy full access to the pool and its amenities for that season. Associate Members do not have voting rights and must also sign-up to fulfill Gate Guard or Project work assignments.
Eligibility: Associate Memberships are limited and offered to those on the waitlist. You can purchase an Associate Membership for a maximum of 2 year. If you decline a full membership you will not be offered an Associate Membership. Cost of an Associate Membership is $750 per season.
Transition to Full Membership: Associate Members remain on the waitlist for a full membership, with priority placement.
