The POOL! What is New for 2022

What is New for 2022

What is New at the POOL

This year will mark the 41^st season for the Pool at LMT! We invite returning and new members to take advantage of our new ‘a la carte’ membership options to enjoy our first-rate amenities.

The reason for the change is twofold:

1) We need to pay staff more to remain a competitive employer.

2) We need to accommodate modern families with modern family dynamics.

This is something that has been contemplated for a while as we receive a significant amount of feedback from residents and potential members with different family circumstances. Overall, fees are still increasing but not across the board. The new model will be more of an “a la cart” menu where members will pay by user.

This model equally distributes rates based on different family structures and member circumstances. Over the years, single parent/one child households were paying the same rate as a larger family of five people. In the new model, single parent one child households will be pay a lower rate, while families of 5 will be pay a higher rate as they have a greater number of people using the facility.

The Lower Makefield Township Pool is one of the premier Aquatics Complexes in the area boasting 4 heated swimming pools including an Olympic Pool, Lap Pool, Intermediate Pool, Tot Pool. There are also additional amenities including a high dive and two standard diving boards, two amusement slides, and a quality snack bar run by Sicilia Catering.

In addition, we offer special events and water fitness classes at no additional charge.

In addition to raising rates for membership, other rates will also be increased as part of this new model. We will be offering more swim lessons this year, and we will be offering the opportunity to participate in semi-private lessons with groups of up to three participants. If you are interested in private or semi-private lessons, there are also more options for you.

Summer Hiring with Better Wages

In 2021, we experienced significant staffing issues at the pool and within our Summer Camp due to increased competition for young employees. Young employees can work in a variety of businesses with higher wages, and where the lives of the patrons do not count on their abilities. To mitigate the staffing issues this year, the township has elected to raise temporary summer staff wages as part of the budget processes. New applicants and returning employees will see a pay increase in the range of $9.50HR to $14.50HR depending on the position. This is a big improvement from the previous wage range of $8.25HR to $11.25HR.

If you intend on applying for the Pool or Camp LMT now is the time to do so.
