[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -

DS is 5, so no swim team.  Camp ends at 3 so we could go in the afternoon in theory though I don't see us going everyday.

We will be traveling for at least 3 weeks this summer but pool is open beginning of May through end of September.

This price does not include bond - it is a temporary summer membership.

I would love to join Palisades pool but I've heard there is a 7 to 10 year waiting list.[/quote]

Do you imagine a swim team in your future? The swim team makes it worth it for us. Our swim team has both morning and evening practices. When our DC was little and in camp all summer, DC did evening practices. Now DC is 12, and has asked not to be in camp all summer. My work schedule is such that I'll be able to take DC to swim practices in the morning and then go to work.

We go to the pool a couple days a week after camp/work, and spend a lot of our weekends there. It's a social group for DC, and when I don't want to be coming up with fun summer adventures, DC still feels like it's a fun summer.

If DC was not on the swim team, it probably wouldn't be worth the cost for us. The swim team is part of what provides the friend group for DC to hang out at the pool in the evenings and weekends. We go, and there's always a gang of kids to join. I'm hoping that continues because as DC gets older and isn't as excited about spending all summer at camp, but we have to work, swim practices should still provide some structure, and the pool might provide some employment options if DC gets lifeguard certified.
