Anyone have insight on this pool and tennis club for a family with preschoolers and infants? Thanks!

Good but be prepared to hire babysitters to put in your volunteer hours this summer.

I thought they had a long wait list. I'd see if it's even possible to get in this summer before pulsing for opinions.

You’re so obsessed with this line of thinking you didn’t even realize that OP asked nothing about a swim team, and that her oldest is a preschooler. Lol.

Intense and obnoxious swim team

For such an insanely priced pool they have mediocre facilities and a crappy website.

Member here. Chesterbrook prides itself on having one of the top-ranked swim teams in all of Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL) (generally competing with Overlee and Tuckahoe for the #1 position). They renovated 3 years ago but the changing rooms and snack bar are small and outdated. The club itself has a very active social scene, and is welcoming whether or not families are part of the swim team. (My kids, for example, are not good enough swimmers to swim in the "A" meets, but still love being part of the team, and adore the coaches.) They also have a dive team and tennis team, of course.

The new baby/toddler pool is great. My kids had outgrown it before the renovation, but we spent many, many happy hours using the previous wading pool and made a lot of friends.

However, unlike most other pools in the area, there is no membership wait list. Chesterbrook has an annual membership sign-up, typically at noon on the second Saturday of January, so you have just missed it. Available memberships are usually filled within 5 minutes of the online sign-up.

That is some serious money for a place that you go to for three months.

That may be the most clever way that I've heard of to get in ringers for the swim team

Is this hunger games style???? I don't understand why you would do this. I assume that prior members get priority?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Shenanigans.
