North Springfield Swim Club

Fantastic experience: I love the community atmosphere at NSSC. Everyone is so friendly and the swim and dive team coaches, members, and families make my children feel like all-stars even when they finish last. There a lot of social activities (float nights, water aerobics, trivia and movie nights, a chili cookoff, and the most family-friendly and best flamingo party by far), and one of the club members volunteers as our local DJ--he is fantastic! It's so nice to not have to cook two evenings in summer. Wednesdays the grill is fired up with hamburgers (usually $3) and hotdogs (usually $2) along with chicken, tacos, or brisket, depending on the night; Fridays we have a food truck come. The snack shack has health options and probably more selection than some larger neighborhood pools. My kids (now 9 and 12) practically live at the pool all summer long. It's great that the older teens and younger kids (even at 6 and 7) all play together--volleyball, foosball, jenga. It really builds a sense of a village. And it's been fun watching kids who were in elementary school when we joined now be lifeguards. The tween/teen swim team members teach the littles (3+) to swim through our Little Flippers Program, which is ridiculously inexpensive! Both of my kids are graduates of that program. There is a lot of shade during the day which is great for a break from the bright sun.

Fantastic experience: Very family friendly neighborhood pool. Love it!

Positive experience: Clean pool. Thanks pool crew. Located with enough shade for the afternoon and lovely sun for the evening.

Fantastic experience: Great community. Beautiful grounds with lots of peripheral shade. Baby Pool is mostly shade covered. Clean facilities and knowledgeable staff. In light of Covid, the club is running a carefully social distanced, reservation-based program. I feel comfortable bringing my young family here and staying safe.
