Manorlu Swim Club
July 28, 2014 Newsletter
Welcome August...
No fear though, we still have fun activities planned for the remainder of the season... Bunco for the Ladies, Adult Trivia Night, Sunday Sundaes, and our Annual Labor Day Celebration! And let's not forget Manorlu's weekly Thursday Volleyball and Tube Night.
But for many of us the best part of Manorlu isn't the planned parties or activities... it's the joyful play of our members, the long talks on the hill or under the trees... it's summer games and summer friends. Wishing everyone a wonderful August!
Attention Manorlu Ladies - Mark Your Calendars for a "LNO"...
Start time: 6pm on the Manorlu sundeck
Fee: $10 for the whole evening
Prizes will be awarded!
To help us set up the appropriate number of tables and chairs, please RSVP and pay at the front desk as soon as possible. Unable to commit at this time... you are welcome to join us, even at the last minute.
Have a card table? We'd love it if you could bring it with you. Questions? Email mail@manorlu.com and we'll get back to you!

Manorlu Guest Fees
At Manorlu, we love that you want to share our beautiful pool with your friends and extended family, but please remember that you must pay a guest fee for each guest you bring (even non-swimming guests), each time you bring them. You also must be present to have a guest at the pool and are responsible for reviewing "Pool Rules" with your guests. (Pool Rules are posted at the front desk.) The lifeguard at the front desk will fill in the guest book information and collect fees. Guest fees are as follows:
- Weekdays: Adults - $5.00, Children under 16 - $3.00
- Weekends & Holidays - Adults - $7.00, Children - $5.00
- After 6pm: Adults - $2.00, Children - $1.00
- Adults dropping off or picking up a guest/member
- Adults (in street clothes) attending a scheduled party at Manorlu
Questionable weather? Wondering if the pool is still open?
In the event that we must unexpectedly close the pool due to lots of rain, thunderstorms, or heaven forbid - an accident in the baby pool, a text alert (or and email, if you prefer) will be sent to all subscribers with a Manorlu update. For those who may be familiar - Rained Out is the same service used by the Upper Dublin Soccer Club to notify members of field closures. It's free (text messaging rates apply) and only takes two minutes to sign up using this link:
https://www.rainedout.net/team_page.php?a=f36c9c68fb58df82270b
How often and what kind of messages can you expect to receive? Hopefully we will have a sunny summer and the pool will close infrequently, but here is a sample of possibilities:
- Pool closed for weather (may seem obvious, but it can be raining in Dresher and sunny in Abington... and who wants to make the drive to find the pool closed!)
- Reminder for Manorlu events such as the 4th of July celebration, the Adult Social, Sunday Sundaes, and more.
- Reminder for pool closing for home swim meets
(Note for swim/dive team families: To receive notification of general pool closures and happenings, you must sign up using this link. It is a different account. It covers all Manorlu members and is different from the swim/dive team account. For non-swim/dive team families: This account will not be used to communicate general swim/dive team information.)
Please contact mail@manorlu.com if you have any questions.

Manorlu Sports Equipment
Manorlu has sports equipment available to members at the front desk. To borrow the equipment, just leave one dollar with the life guard while you play and get your dollar back when you return the equipment. We have basketballs, jump ropes, kick balls, volleyballs, shuffle board gear and more. Enjoy playing on the beautiful Manorlu grounds without lugging your sports gear with you.
Let's Have a Party!
Looking for somewhere to host a private graduation, birthday or anniversary party? Like to have a non-private family, team or other group outing? Consider the gorgeous grounds of Manorlu Swim Club! There are many options available. As the Board of Directors continues to look for new ways to show off our pool and generate funds, the pool may be made available on a very limited basis (once or twice a year) for a private function. Interested in any type of party at Manorlu? Please email mail@manorlu.com and we’d be happy to discuss this with you and help make it happen!
Clean Bathrooms are Our Goal
It is always our intention to have the cleanest possible bathrooms available to our members. The lifeguards and managers check and clean the bathrooms several times a day; however, it is possible that a bathroom can get "icky" very quickly. Please help the guards and manager-on-duty by reporting any bathroom messes to the front desk. Thank you!
