Glenwood Recreation Club, Inc. 10012 Gardiner Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20902

"The pool and facilities are very nice, I can see why it is popular. However, the waitlist is very long and after visiting as a guest, we decided not to bother getting on the list for a couple reasons. First, on summer weekends it can get very busy, such that it is challenging to find parking and even find a place to sit. It's a lot of money to spend on a membership only to be wandering around trying to find a chair/table. Second, it seems to cater to families with a SAHP or nanny- we were excited to learn that the pool opens group swim lessons to non-members, but they are at the most inconvenient times for working parents- midday on weekdays! My friend who is a Glenwood member had to take her kids to a different neighborhood pool for lessons because of this. So after scoping out some area pools this summer, we are going to join one with no waitlist that is, while less fancy, more chill and family-friendly."

"We waited for many years to finally get in. My only complaint is that there's not nearly enough parking, so people end up parking in the neighborhood and taking up spaces from people who live there. Still loving it here season two!"

"What a great place. So glad we were able to spend a morning here with friends. Fantastic pool and great picnic areas."

"Very quaint pool that requires an annual membership. We are not members, but my children are able to take swimming lessons here. We live down the street, but cannot become members because of the wait list that is about 3 years long"

"Great community pool/swim club. Been coming here since 2004 and love it."
