Q1. How do I join the Woodland Hills Club?

Prospective members are required to complete an application for membership which can be found on the website www.woodlandhillsswimclub.com or obtained at the gatehouse. The completed application, which also requires the recommendations of two current members in good standings, should be mailed to the Club’s post office box along with a non-refundable application fee. Check website Membership page for current prices.

Q2. What if I don’t know any current members in good standing?

Visit the Club during the summer season (normally between 11 am and noon works best) and ask for the pool manager. He can discuss where you live and the schools your kids attend, if any, and through conversation quite possibly identify folks that you may already know, but did not realize were members of the Club. Due to privacy concerns, the Club does not make available a list of its members to the public.

Q3. Is there a waiting list, and if so, how long can I expect to wait for Full Membership?

Yes. The Club’s By-laws limit Full Membership to approximately 450 families. Given the length of our waiting list a wait of

at least two-years can be expected.

Q4. How much does it cost to join the Club?

Full Membership entails the purchase of a share certificate which is refunded upon resignation from the Club, a one-time initiation fee and payment of the current year’s dues. Check website Membership page for current prices.

Q5. Is there any way that I can use the facility before a Full Membership position becomes available?

Yes. Each year the Board of Directors offers a limited number of seasonal Associate Membership to many of those on the waiting list. A fee is charged for the program. Check website Membership page for current prices.

Q6. How will I know when my name comes to the top of the waiting list or if I will be invited to participate in the seasonal Associate Member program?

Invitations for Full Membership are mailed in early February. Invitations for the seasonal Associate membership program will be mailed in early April.

Q7. What if am offered Full Membership or the seasonal Associate Membership and choose to decline?

Should you decline an offer for Full Membership your name will be removed from our waiting list and you must reapply for Full Membership and pay an application fee at a later date. Should you decline an offer for the seasonal Associate Membership, your name will remain on the waiting list at its current position.

Q8. Are application and/or Associate Membership fees applied toward the initiation, bond or dues fees for new members?

No. The application fee is non-refundable and simply guarantees you a position on our waiting list. The seasonal Associate membership fee is for the privilege of the using the facility for one season. Neither is applied toward new membership fees.

The Club’s By-laws define membership by family units. A “family” is considered to consist of husband and wife (or head of household) and all of their children living in the household.

Yes. However, guests must be accompanied by the Full or Associate Member and are limited to two entries per week. Guest passes may be purchased at the Gate House. Check website Membership page for current fees.
