Facility Notes
This is one of those very exclusive clubs that require sponsorship by a current member for a new member to join. It has reciprocity agreements with 180 other, similarly exclusive clubs around the world, e.g., the New York Athletic Club and the Olympic Club in San Francisco. The club has a private hotel, but it is for members, guests sponsored by members, and people who belong to clubs with reciprocity.
Facility Reviews
The pool is what I would call an "old style pool". It is a much smaller space than the New York Athletic Club but, if you can imagine that pool in a much more compact space, lower ceilings, and smaller, you get the picture. You can barely walk around the pool to the opposite end to pick up a pull buoy or whatever.
It is 20 yards long and has four lanes that are roped off from each other. It opens at 6 AM and closes at 10 PM. I think it would be difficult to share a lane, given how narrow the lanes are, even circle-swimming. But circling swimming probably won't ever be a problem, since it just isn't busy. There were three people when I swam at 7 AM and that was considered busy by the staff. The temperature was 82 degrees.
All in all, it's a decent place to swim (in the context of when you are travelling somewhere).
