ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
If you would like to apply for membership at Elmhurst Swim Club, you must request two current members of the club to sponsor you. These sponsors – a prime sponsor and a co-sponsor – can not be members of the same household and must be members of the club for at least one year.
Requests for applications must be made by the prime sponsor to the membership secretary. Once the application materials are received, the prime sponsor is responsible for assisting the applicant with the materials and for returning them to the membership secretary. The required materials include:
- Application for membership, completed by the applicant and signed by the sponsors
- Letters of recommendation, written by both sponsors
The applicant will then be placed on the waiting list according to the date that all materials have been received by the membership secretary.
Cost of Membership
Each new member family at Elmhurst will be assessed a one-time, non-refundable initiation fee for the father and mother of the family. The fee is $350 per individual ($700 if both parents join).
There are several membership classes at Elmhurst, each with annual dues:
- Adult (15 years old and up) – $150
- Junior (11 to 14 years old) – $135
- Child (1 to 10 years old) – $130
- Infant (less than 1 year old) – free
A member will change from one class to another for the entire season if their birthday falls before Labor Day. For example: a member turning 15 in August will be considered 15 for the entire summer. Also, an infant born before Labor Day will have that summer as their free summer; an infant born after Labor Day will have the following summer as their free summer. The Board of Directors may change the amount of any dues or fees as needed.
