where summer lives.
Founded in 1968, the Ithaca Swim Club is a non-profit, cooperative community pool that’s been bringing people together every summer for generations. Our cooperative model keeps membership fees accessible and gives every member a real sense of ownership because this isn’t just a pool, it’s your pool.
Here, neighbors become friends, kids grow up in the water, and summer traditions are made - year after year.
Welcome to the Ithaca Swim Club
A pool built on community, connection, and summer fun.

From confidence-building beginner lessons to skill-focused training and summer fun programs, our offerings combine learning, safety, fitness, and joy - all in a supportive, community-centered environment.
