Membership Options

Pay dues each year to remain an active member. These do not include the $200 initiation fee.

We’re excited to add a “Childcare provider” option to all Plus 1 and Family memberships. This applies to any childcare provider who plans to get in the water with your child. We’re always glad to welcome an adult with your child(ren) at no charge if they come dressed to sit and watch the fun.

Initiation Fee

Similar to many pool and gym memberships, we have a $200 initiation fee. This fee is a one-time fee as long as consecutive summer memberships or “Not Joining This Summer” are purchased. If there is a lapse in your membership the initiation fee will need to be paid when you return. For example, you skip a year of joining the pool via summer membership or paying the “Not Joining This Summer” $50.

For Stockholders who have not purchased a membership or paid the “Not Joining This Summer” $50 fee since 2021, you will be responsible for the initiation fee upon your return.*

*Stockholders were grandfathered in as members without paying the joining fee, however, this ended in summer 2023. If neither annual membership dues nor “Not Joining This Summer” $50 fees have been paid, your stockholder status no longer eliminates your initiation fee moving forward. A new joining/initiation fee will have to be paid before annual membership dues to become an active member. Your stock still is an asset where you are entitled to your share of the proceeds if the pool is ever sold. That is the contractual obligation of the stock you hold.

How to Create Your Account

If you are new to Antioch, or you were not on our list, please create an account through the Membership Portal to proceed to purchasing a membership package.

In 2021, we stopped selling Antioch Recreation Association stock. If you are a stockholder, you will not pay an initiation fee. That will be reflected in your account if we have an email address for you. If you are a stockholder and you do not see it reflected in your account, please contact us prior to purchasing your membership so we can correct it. You are welcome to include your stock number in that email.

Note: “Annual dues” and “membership” and “package” are interchangeable terms meaning the purchase of annual summer membership.

Once you’ve purchased a summer package, your membership will be active through Labor Day.

 

Ready? Here’s how to get started!

  1. Go to the Membership Portal and login OR register using the “Not Registered? Click here to Register.” link.
  2. If you forget your log-in or password, use the links on the log-in page to reset it.
  3. Once you are logged in, click “View profile” in the upper right corner to confirm your account information is up to date. Then, add or edit the family members living at your residence into your family profile. (If you need to remove a family member from your profile, you will need to contact us.)
  4. Registration & Dues. Click on Memberships, then under “Returning Members” select the membership which represents the number of members in your family. Don’t worry about the initiation fee or the assessment fee listed. Once the system validates that you have already paid initiation, that will disappear.
  5. Checkout to pay your annual dues. You can also purchase guest passes at this time. You may pay via credit card or mail your check after the registration process is completed.
  6. Please note: Our Family memberships are designed for a variety of families with no more than two adults with children under the age of 25 living at the same home. Children over the age of 25 will need to register for their own memberships. Families larger than 5 may be contacted by our membership team for address validation.

Payment Plan

Payment plans are available through the portal. This will allow you to split up your payments into monthly payments while paying in full by May and considered an “early bird”!

The only requirement to enroll in the payment plan is to pay by debit or credit card. If you are paying by check you must pay in full.
