Welcome to the 2026 Swim Season!

2026 Beechwood Swim Club Member Letter

2026 Beechwood Swim Club Board of Directors

News from the Board of Directors
Summer is just around the corner, and our pre-season preparations are officially underway. We can’t wait for the 2026 pool season to arrive!

The Board of Directors is pleased to welcome our newest board member, Jeremy Lee. Jeremy and his family have been members of the club since they moved back to Ft. Mitchell in 2018. He is excited to serve in this new role. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Cheryl Ralph for her three years of dedicated service on the Board. We truly appreciate all she has contributed to our club.

Over the past several years, we have made significant investments to maintain the pool, deck, and facilities. For 2026, the Board has committed to continuing to make improvements to the Club. Our main focus is the pool and the pump room. We will continue to make investments that will help our pool last for years to come. You may have heard of other pools starting to see issues with their pool and older equipment. We have taken pride in our proactive approach to prevent major issues. We feel confident with the proactive repairs we have made over the winter season, that we are set for a successful summer.

2026 Membership Dues
After careful review and thoughtful discussion, the Board approved a 5% increase to membership dues for 2026 to help cover rising operational and maintenance expenses.

  • March 11: 5:00–7:00 PM

April 15, 2026: Payment must be received on or before this date to avoid a late fee.

After April 15, 2026: A $150 late fee will be applied to all payments received after April 15th. Accounts assessed a late fee will remain inactive until the balance, including the late fee, is paid in full.

Please note that guest passes will now expire at the end of each pool season. This policy applies to guest passes purchased during the current season as well as any unused guest passes from previous seasons. All existing guest passes, either purchased this season or in previous seasons, will remain valid through the end of the 2026 pool season.

Inactive Membership Option
Due to the ongoing spike in membership interest, it is important that we know how many members plan to be inactive in the 2026 season.

• Members who wish to be inactive must notify the board in writing by May 15, 2026. The inactive fee will be $420.
• To keep the account in good standing, the inactive fee must be paid by June 15, 2026.
• Failure to notify the board of an intent to be inactive will subject you to the full membership dues for the season.
• Failure to pay the inactive fee by June 15, 2026, will result in the club purchasing your bond from you at the original bond value. There is no exception to this.

New Members – Bond Transfers
For our new members who have purchased bonds since last season, your bond must be formally transferred before your account is active. If you need to transfer bonds, Eric Mooney will be available to meet you at the pool on the following days:

May 7: 5:30–6:30 PM
May 14: 5:30–6:30 PM

Member Key Tags
For entry into the pool, each member must present their pool key tag at check-in. Every individual entering the pool must have their own tag. Lost or missing tags may be replaced for $5 per tag; replacement tags are nonrefundable. We ask that you locate your tags prior to the start of the pool season. If you need new tags made please email us so we can have them ready for you prior to opening day. Thank you for helping us keep check-in running smoothly.

Member Communication Throughout the Season
As we prepare for the 2026 season, the Board remains committed to keeping members well informed. To ensure timely and widespread communication, updates will be shared across multiple platforms, including email, the pool website, and the pool’s Facebook page.

Important documents such as the bylaws and the annual member letter will always be posted on the website. Members are encouraged to regularly check their email, the website, and Facebook to stay informed about club updates and upcoming events.

Job Fair
We had a fantastic turnout at our previous job fairs! Our next job fair will be held at the Kenton County Erlanger Library on March 8th from 2:00–3:00 PM. Please see the attached flyer for additional details. We are currently hiring for all positions.

August Lifeguarding Help Needed
A special thank you to our members Jeanne Wissman, Kristi Snyder, and Barb Erardii for generously stepping in to lifeguard and manage last August. Because of their availability, we were the only club able to maintain full operating hours after the school year began. We are incredibly grateful for their support.

We will be asking for similar assistance again this coming year to help prevent reduced hours once school resumes in August. To keep the pool open, we are seeking adult members who are willing to obtain lifeguard certification and volunteer their time.

• Volunteers must commit to two (2) shifts per week (12:00–4:00 PM) for two consecutive weeks
• Coverage is needed Monday–Friday beginning in mid-August
• We are seeking up to five (5) volunteers, with two lifeguards needed per day

A lifeguard certification class will be held at the pool for those who commit to volunteering. Please note that volunteers will also be required to attend additional training on Beechwood Swim Club emergency protocols.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep the pool fully open for our members.

If you are interested, please contact us at beechwoodswimclubky@gmail.com.

Membership Tags

Besides getting the pool ready we are working hard to get our new cards/tags ready! These will be able to be put on your keychain. You will receive your new tags at your first visit to the Swim Club. You will need your tags to scan in every time you visit. We will no longer allow the front desk staff to look members up for entry. This delays other members being able to enter in a timely fashion. To ensure quick entry into the Swim Club please have your tag ready or a picture of it to scan into the computer. If a look up is required, the manager will be called to the front office to help you.

Replacement tags will be $5 per tag.

Important Dates/Events at Beechwood Swim Club

Major items, such as our bylaws and this year’s member letter, will always be posted to our website. Please regularly check your email, our website, and our Facebook page so that you can stay informed of all events happening at the pool.
