Re:     Indian Hills/Glen Eden Pool Associate Membership

We are hard at work getting the pool ready to open. We open Saturday, May 28th 2005. Pool hours and rules remain unchanged. Please find a copy of the rules attached. Once again, DRD Pools will provide the pool management. There phone number is posted at various places at the pool. They are committed to good customer service, but they cannot act if they do not know there is a problem, so please feel free to call them if you have any concerns or questions. If you would rather talk to me, or if they do not resolve a problem to your satisfaction, please feel free to call.

Please note that Associate Memberships do not include guest privileges. Only household members may use the pool. Proof of address may be required during peak hours or at the discretion of the staff. Household members include up to two adults, children living in the home, and a regular caretaker if listed on the membership form. Associate membership does not include clubhouse rental privileges because of our insurance coverage. Associate members who have wanted to rent the pool and/or clubhouse for a private party generally have a community member rent it for them.

The pool is open from Memorial Weekend through Labor Day. During Anne Arundel Public School days, the pool is open weekdays from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm and regular hours on weekends. The regular hours are 11:30 to 8:00 pm Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 – 9:00 on Friday and Saturday. Holidays we close at 8:00 pm.

Associate members are welcome to join our swim team. Please contact Virginia Owens at virginia.owens@comcast.net for more information regarding the swim team. Swim lessons are available from local teens. Please see their signs on the bulletin board next to the bathhouse for more information.

Last year we replastered the pool and installed a new fiberglass diving board. This year we are going to try making the tennis court available on a first-come, first-served basis during pool hours. If you have any questions, please email me at melisbowen@comcast.net (fastest response) or call me at (410) 757-7976 (please be patient – high call volume.)

Clubhouse & Pool telephone number:  410-349-3885.
