Stratford Swim Club

"I came here as a guest with a member. I've never been here before and I was surprised. I had thought swim clubs were noisy, crowded places where people don't watch their obnoxious kids and seats, and loungers are hard to find. This place was the opposite but maybe that's because I went on a Thursday afternoon. There were plenty of seats to be had, and the main pool was Olympic size complete with diving blocks and boards. Two smaller fenced-in pools are available for younger children and toddlers. The issue I have with the place was the obviously lack of attention that guards and counselors were giving to the children that attend summer camp there. A group of boys surrounded another young boy and were literally choking the kid in pool. My friend sought out an employee and asked if the kids were in their care, and she said yes but proceeded to do absolutely nothing. These same kids continuously jumped off the edge off the pool with total disregard to who was in front of them or under the water. It's a serious injury waiting to happen. I kept my kids close to me and had no problem telling the summer camp kids to be more cautious and aware. Another minus is the bathrooms. One review stated they needed to be torn down and totally rebuilt. I agree. They're gross. There is a food truck which serves decent affordable food and snacks, and they do have a pretty decent swim team for all ages. Lessons are offered. I was not convinced to get a membership, but if things improve, I may consider in the future."

"Just joined last week and we throughly enjoy it! With3 pools for different ages they have basketball n volleyball courts! There is a great snack bar and the pools n areas are all clean! So happy we found this gem."

"Part of stratford history. It's been there forever. Opens .memorial day. Closes labor day. They keep it clean. And up to date. Would love to join. But only open three months. Do to work schedule. I would be able to go that much."

"Been coming here 3 of the last 4 years. Close to home, snack bar is actually run by a local seasonal food truck (this year is MooCheeze), and an overall relaxed family-friendly fun pool to join."

"I feel like they really spruced this place up this year. My son loves coming here, and it's super convenient for where I live. The membership price is reasonable, most of the people are pretty relaxed, and it's comfortable to hang out here. Only suggestion is to bring an umbrella.... There's not much shade around the pool."
