If you created a new account or have added a member to your household, you are required to submit Proof of Residency for each new member on the account.
If you are a resident and purchase a membership as a Non-Resident, the difference in fees will NOT be refunded.
Proof of Residency can be emailed to recreation@lowermerion.org. Please note, our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:15am to 4:30pm. Proof of residency submitted outside of normal business hours, will not be confirmed until the next business day.
Once Proof of Residency is received for ALL members, your account will be designated to resident status and you can purchase your pool membership.
Membership Payments are not accepted at the Pool.
Refunds will not be considered once the pool has opened.
Membership Options
If you are only registering 2 members of your family, it is cheaper to do individual memberships.
Example: If you are registering a household of just two adults, please join as two individuals 18 and over.
If you are registering one parent and a child, please join as an individual 18 and over and an individual 17 and under.
