Membership is available in two forms,
bonded and seasonal.

Bonded members have purchased an "ownership share" in the club. They may vote on issues affecting the club and serve on the board. Because of the investment represented by the bond purchase, they receive a membership cost savings.

Seasonal members hold no ownership, cannot vote on club issues (budget, by-laws changes, loans, etc.) or hold board office. Email us at info@stratfordswimclub.com if you wish to purchase a bond.

Both types of membership have 4 sub-classes:

Family: 2 adults (married or unmarried, but must be living under 1 roof ),and all legal children of either/both adults (biological, foster, adopted, or of whom the adult has legal custody) A child who one adult has shared custody of may also be included in the family membership. All Children must live in the same household and be under the age of 23.

Single head of household: 1 adult and all children living in the house as describe above.

Married Couple: 2 adults living together (don't have to be married, but must live under 1 roof) no children

Single: one individual, at least 14 years of age and not married.

August Only: As a way to "try out" the club without buying the farm, you can join from August 1st to season close for a reduced cost. This membership is a one season only offering. Applicants may not have been members within the last three years.

Grandparents: They are allowed to use the pool free of charge, but are not issued their own membership cards and must be accompanied by a member.

Children 12 years of age and older are permitted to use the club without an adult family member present provided they follow the club rules. Violations of club rules can result in revocation of this priviledge.

Babysitters--must be 14 years of age and if under 21 are not permitted to supervise more than 2 children. Members pay a $100 fee to use a babysitter who is NOT a club member. Members may also elect to pay the daily guest rate for their babysitter in lieu of the $100 flat rate. Members using non-member babysitters must pay either the flat or daily rate. If the sitter is found to be using the member's cards without a paid fee, the family will lose their membership for the season and NO refund will be given.

Memberships are vailid after being paid in full.
