Atholton Swim Club is a gem. It is a trip back in time to the swim clubs of 40-50 years ago. It is community/member owned, so not part of the CA system of pools. As a result, the club is able to do things that other pools cannot. Such as allowing the kids to play in the diving area versus just having diving. The events that are hosted at the pool are truly special. Whether it is the 50ft long slip and slide, the camp at the pool night, the crab feast, or whatever, there is something for everyone. Atholton also has the best swim lessons and swim team in the area.

One of the best kept secrets in Columbia

Its a great neighborhood pool with a good community around it. The swim lessons are a great deal too.

Atholton Swim Club has the BEST swim lessons in Columbia. Great prices, knowledgeable instructors and small classes make it our go to place for swim instruction.

My kids only ever want to go to Atholton swim club, they prefer it to the Columbia Association pools. In addition to the pool, they can play games and ping pong, tennis and basketball. Its hust a more casual atmosphere and they entertain themselves for hours. I recommend joining the swim team. I originally thought you had to be a goid swimmer to be on the team. Thats not true. Anyone can join and my kids all learned to swim on the team. So we still have our CA membership, but we have more fun at the Atholton pool plus theres a large mature tree for me to sit in the shade.

Theyre hosting a kids triathlon today and doing a great job!

Awesome!

Ok
