Olney Swim Club Memberships?
The Olney Mill Swim Club (OMSC, “Pool”), located at 3611 Briars Road, is an organization independent from the Olney Mill Community Association (OMCA). According to the Pool By-laws, Olney Mill residents are to be given preference for membership openings. Over the years, however, many Olney Mill residents have applied for pool membership, only to have their names remain on a “waiting list” for several years. There have, evidently, been a number of problems in tracking and approving applications, as well as verifying whether or not applicants are officially residents of Olney Mill.
The OMCA Board of Directors does not participate in the Pool membership process and has no way of keeping track of applications. However, they are interested in helping to identify and address some of the issues involved. If you have experienced problems in applying for pool membership, or if you believe you are presently on the waiting list for membership, please contact both OMCA and the OMSC to provide details of your situation. Please send your input via email with the following information: name, address, phone, email, date of application for membership, date of receipt of membership (or “pending”), and any other membership problems you would like to bring to their attention. The email contacts are listed below. Both of our organizations are eager to assure that the membership procedures are efficient and fair! Again, please send your input to both addresses:
• OMCA (Dennis Twombly, President):

• Olney Swim Club (Steve Ornstein, President):
