Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to live in Lake Hiawatha to join?

The Lake Hiawatha Swim Club is a privately owned pool, open to the public. You do not need to live in Lake Hiawatha to join us.

Do you offer discounts for membership?

Our membership rates are the absolute lowest we can offer. At this time, we do not offer any discounts. 

When are you open?

We are a seasonal swim club. Annually, Memorial Day weekend is our opening weekend (Saturday-Monday) and we close on Labor Day. From Memorial Day through the end of June, we are open weekends only. Our daily hours are as follows: Weekdays 12pm-7pm, Weekends 11am-7pm. 

How do I join?

Our membership application can be found here. If you are applying before our season begins (Memorial Day Weekend), you can mail it in to our PO box listed on the application. We only accept cash or check, please do not mail cash. If you are looking to join closer to our opening weekend, we ask that you do not mail your application as we cannot allow you entrance if we do not have your application and payment. Memberships can be purchased at any time during our operating hours. 

Are you hiring?

Yes! We are looking for staff for our 2025 season. Our application can be found here. 

Why are membership rates set at their current price? 

We understand that cost is an important factor when choosing a summer activity for your family. Our membership fees are carefully set to cover the many expenses that come with operating a private, seasonal swim club.

This includes payroll for our certified lifeguards and friendly staff, daily maintenance and upkeep of the five-acre property, pool cleaning and filtration, and of course, chlorine and other essential supplies that ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. 

Unlike public facilities, Lake Hiawatha Swim Club is privately owned and fully maintained by our team, without outside funding or government support. Every dollar goes directly back into keeping the club clean, safe, and fun for all members.
