Membership Information
We are an Open Membership swim club. This means there are no
restrictions on where you reside, and there are no subscription or stocks fees to join. We charge annual membership dues,
based on your household membership category. We will pro-rate the annual membership dues for households that MOVE into
or out of the area during the swim season. (Sorry we cannot pro-rate for people who live in the area but join late,
nor for people who will be away for a portion of the season. Also, we cannot discount memberships for households where only
one or two people want to join.)
All memberships include free swim club privileges for certain other people who
are not living in the household. These include the member's vertical family (i.e., children/parents/grandparents/grandchildren),
temporary out-of-town house guests, and regular day-care provider.
We offer the following membership
categories:
- Family Membership: Includes all persons living in the same house, regardless
of relationship.
- Couple Membership: Household consists of 2 adults
and no children.
- Single Membership: Household consists of 1 adult
and no children.
- Silver Barracuda: Houshold has maintained a membership
with Brandywine for at least 25 years.

What's
in the pool?
- Chlorine-to discourage growth of algae and spread of harmful bacteria. The
compound we use is sodium hypochlorite.
- Propylene Glycol- a common food additive that decreases
evaporation of water as it forms a microlayer on the surface of the water. Evaporation is a major way the pool loses heat.
