Our History
The Willows Swim Club was founded in 1960 as a members-owned, cooperative facility designed to provide families with a welcoming and recreational space. From the very beginning, the club has operated under the guiding principle of fostering a strong, community-oriented atmosphere.
As a cooperative, The Willows remains dedicated to the interests of its members. We limit memberships to just 285 bonded families, ensuring a relaxed and spacious environment even during the busiest weekends. This exclusivity helps preserve the peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere that has been a hallmark of the club since its opening.
The club is managed by a nine-person Board of Trustees, all of whom are elected by the membership. This governance model allows members to have a direct voice in the decisions that shape the future of the club, fostering a strong sense of ownership and involvement within our community.
Whether you’re interested in enjoying our pools and recreational facilities, or getting more involved in the club’s operations, there are plenty of opportunities to be part of the Willows family.
Memories of The Way We Were. Smiles We Never Leave Behind.
Ah, summer days at the neighborhood pool club—carefree, traffic-free, and full of relaxation for adults, with plenty of fun for the kids! When The Willows Swim Club first opened its doors in 1960, “hanging out at the Willows pool” became an integral part of summer life for families in our community. The tradition of enjoying leisurely days at the pool has remained strong, and continues to be a favorite pastime for members of all ages.
Over the years, The Willows has grown and evolved, with numerous upgrades to our facilities to keep pace with today’s recreational needs. While we’ve updated the club to include modern amenities and a diverse range of activities, the spirit of those early days remains. Our members still enjoy the same sense of camaraderie and relaxation that made the Willows a beloved destination 60 years ago—only now, we offer even more to do, from upgraded pools and courts to a packed schedule of fun-filled events and programs for the whole family.
The Willows Swim Club continues to be a place where families come together to create lasting memories, all while enjoying a peaceful and spacious environment that’s just a step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
