About the Club

At the heart of every community, are the residents and families who make up that village. Those who are fortunate enough to call the Borough of New Milford home know that it has been and continues to be the type of community with no shortage of heart. Whether it’s those who have stayed for generations or those who are thinking of making a move to relocate, residents look for, among so many other things, outlets and opportunities that allow them to establish roots within their community. In New Milford, those roots are planted by the residents who frequent the Borough’s small businesses, attend schools, and sign up for recreational sports and town clubs and organizations. All of these are assets that foster community growth and allow the town to flourish.

One of the Borough’s greatest assets and longest mainstays is the Swim Club. New Milford Swim Club (“NMSC”) has been a town staple since 1959. For more than 60 years, generations of families have spent their summers enjoying not one, but two pools, a park and playground, basketball courts, a picnic area, and acres of space. A countless number of children have learned to swim at NMSC, and those same children may have even grown up to become lifeguards there themselves. Neighboring summer camps have brought buses of children eager to cool off and enjoy a day of fun in the sun. Through the years, various New Milford camps have blocked an hour or two for kids to walk over and get in a dip at the pool to break up their day. Likewise, a countless number of Seniors have spent days enjoying the facilities with friends, relishing in the moments a lifeguard announces, “Adult swim!” Hot sunny days down at NMSC have not only encouraged swimming lessons and first time jumps off the high dive, but they have also nurtured friendships and created the ideal backdrop for priceless summer memories.
