Stonecrest Swim Club To Host League Championships

The members-only club has been in operation since the 1960s.

Last week's triple-digit temperatures probably had you looking for ways to stay cool. Although South Whitehall doesn't have a municipal pool, members-only swim clubs located in the township can provide an escape from the heat.

Today Patch highlights the Stonecrest Swim Club, 1300 N. Main St. The club has been in operation since the 1960s and currently has almost 300 families as members.

The club offers a six-lane 35-meter pool with two lifeguards on duty. There is a diving well with a one-meter springboard diving board as well as water slide for the adventurous swimmers. There's a separate kiddie pool for the younger crowd.

The diving competition will be held Friday, July 29, beginning at 5:30 p.m., and the swimming competition will be held Sunday, July 30, beginning at 8 a.m.

Stonecrest Swim Club requires a membership bond of $500 which is refundable when you leave the pool. Annual dues are $370 and guest passes are sold in books of 10 for $25. Each member is permitted one book per season. A family membership includes all relatives living with the primary member of the club.

The club offers both swimming and tennis lessons to members.

Stonecrest has special events during the season such as DJ Nights, camp outs, Family Day and movie nights.

Other amenities offered include volleyball,  basketball and tennis courts, an arts and crafts table and a picnic pavilion available for members to rent for private parties.
