Nob Hill Swim Club

Went as a guest of a member.
First negative: there is a $7 guest fee for everyone including infant & toddlers. They only accept cash (exact change preferably) we were $2 short since I was unaware of cash only. They literally weren't going to let us in. I had two bags full and 3 children dressed and ready to go. Another member generously offered $2 so we could stay with our friends.
Second negative: the pool was dirty, looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a few days. Leaves were everywhere and while there were two lifeguards on roation neither one of them were cleaning.
Third negative: the lifeguard on duty was sooo rude. While I understand there is no running around a pool and I do occasionally have to remind my toddlers. The lifeguard blew his whistle at several kids and yelled aggressively to stop running. While getting ready to change and leave my 3 to thought we were going out the gate and ran to go out (I was behind him saying "no no buddy, don't run we are going in here!"), said lifeguard popped his head out of the office and beyond aggressively yelled " you better stop running and I am not going to tell you again". Children have short memories and get caught up, especially a 3 yo, you are going to have to remind them over and over not to do things. The way he spoke to my child was inappropriate and downright rude.

I will NEVER EVER return as a guest or recommend this swim club. I will openly tell people not to join.

I don’t want anyone else to know that this is the best kept secret in Ellicott City. A smart person would not write this review at all (hmmm). I definitely would not share how it’s small, but well-run, clean and family friendly. No stuffy attitudes or looking each other up and down. Just fun swimming and the diving board is awesome. But don’t tell anyone else.

Clean and well run. The lifeguards are always friendly and professional. It’s a great place for families.

This is the second year that I have joined the pool. Staff is very nice. They also have snacks that they sell.

Kids have a lot of fun here in the summer.

Love this place. High value for the low price of membership. Clean, well managed, and not too crowded.

Howard County's hidden secret, this community pool is quite pleasant, with affordable membership prices (and no huge upfront deposit.) Nestled amongst trees in a neighborhood near Rt. 40. Family friendly basics: pool, diving board, restrooms/showers, picnic/play areas, volleyball court, swim lessons, snack/drink vending machines. Family and adult events, e.g., games, movies, crab feasts...

Great little pool, never crowded and the guards are friendly and nice! Swim lessons are great and membership is very afforfable. Highly recommend!!
