"Best Pool in Maryland"
(as voted by our membership)
The West Hillandale Swim Club was formed in June of 1961 by residents of the Hillandale community. In that same year, the Pool purchased the 5 acres of land situated at 915 Schindler Drive, Silver Spring, MD 20903. In 1963, the Pool opened after construction of the swimming pool and club house was completed.
The Pool is a gathering place, where pool members and their guests enjoy good weather and the company of family, friends, and neighbors. It is a place where our children learn to swim and have fun, while they learn the value of good sportsmanship and friendly competition. The Pool's Swim Team, the Dolphins, is a charter member of the Montgomery County Swim League, which celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2008.
The Pool is one of the nicest community pools in Montgomery County. It is quiet and lined with tall trees. There is no traffic noise. It is the only community pool in Montgomery County designed with a spacious shallow area which gradually changes from 2 foot to 3 1/2 feet deep. This feature makes it a favorite of families with young children.
