Lake Forest maintains and operates three swimming pools. You can swim for fun, exercise, and sport. We can help with pool access cards, and/or the swim team.
The original Swim & Racquet Club Pool, a Jr. Olympic-size pool used by the Swim Team, is located at the end of Country Club Drive. A playground, picnic tables, and charcoal grills also are available. This is a great place to swim or cool down after playing tennis next door at the Racquet Club.
The Montclair Pool was completely updated in 2017. It is a lovely pool that is great for families with small children--at least a third of the pool is very shallow. Picnic tables, and a playground are located at this pool.
The Ridgewood Pool was completely updated in 2018 and includes a separate toddler pool. You also can use the playground adjacent to this pool.
To get your card, print and complete your agreement to present to the office with $5.00.
