Membership FAQThe Palisades Swimming Pool Association has been welcoming families since 1969. The facilities include three swimming pools, individual men's, ladies' and Family/ADA changing facilities, lighted tennis courts, picnic area, SportsCourt, volley ball area and playground. Activities include swim and dive teams, early bird swim, water aerobics, tennis, yoga, and several social events.There is a waiting list for membership. Time on the waiting list is approximately 3 to 5 years, depending on the number of registered wait-listed applicants seeking annual membership vacancies. Once a membership becomes available, selected wait-listed applicants may apply as Temporary Members. Temporary membership status continues year by year until a Bonded Membership becomes available (generally another 7-9 years). At that time a Temporary Member must purchase a bond to continue as a member of the pool association. A bond currently costs $1,500, payable in two annual installments. The Bond is refunded at the purchase price when a member decides to discontinue membership to the Pool. Membership fees are currently $460 for Family Bonded Membership, $560 for Family Temporary Membership, $335 for Single Bonded Membership and $435 for Single Temporary Membership. The Association offers a new Senior membership category for existing bondholders: $285 for Single Senior Membership, $360 for Family Single Membership. To be placed on the waiting list for membership, please complete the membership application, enclose a $40 non-refundable check made out to Palisades Swimming Pool Assoc., and mail to: Palisades Swimming Pool Assoc., P.O. Box 636, Glen Echo, MD 20812. We do not send confirmation notices, please keep your cancelled check as your confirmation that your application has been processed. You may check on your status on the waiting list by sending us e-mail to:

Membership NewsWe are excited to welcome members old and new to Palisades this season.

We were able to make progress in taking applicants off our waitlist and have reduced wait list times on the list.
