How Does the Waiting List and Membership Renewal Work?

Anyone wanting to join the pool will fill out an application and submit a $25 application fee.  This fee is nonrefundable, but will be applied to your first year dues.  There is an initiation fee that will be added to the first year membership dues.  After that, members just pay the annual membership dues.  In March, current members and Leave of Absence members will be invoiced to continue their membership.  Members have until April 1st to pay for the current season to guarantee continued membership in good standing.  Sometime after April 1st, people on the waiting list are contacted to allow them to join the pool.  New members and returning members will be allowed in until the Eno membership cap has been reached.  At this point, any new applicants will be added to the waiting list for the next season.  Members who did not pay before the cap was reached, or have decided that they cannot make use of their pool membership this year will be added to the Leave of Absence. LOA means that the household is considered an inactive member and cannot use club facilities (except as a guest), but will not have to pay the initiation fee to rejoin the next year.  A member can be on LOA for two years before being dropped from the membership roster.  If a member is on LOA1 or LOA2, then they will receive the option to join in March with a guaranteed admission.  Once the LOA has expired, any returning member will need to complete the new member applicant process again.

Are guests allowed?

Yes, guests will be allowed according to the rules stated in the pool rules.

Can I use the tennis courts?

The tennis courts are open year-round for use by the membership. Please follow state and local rules and guidelines regarding the number of persons in a gathering and social distancing. Per the City of Durham, we are able to continue to use the tennis courts as a private club and for members only. Our guidelines are that no more than 2 people OR a single family unit may occupy each court at a time.

Are there dedicated times for adult lap swimming?

After weekday evening swim team practice, pool management will leave a roped lane in place reserved for adult lap swimming. After the swim team season is over (early July), a roped swim lane will be established upon request in the evenings at roughly the same time. Depending on crowds and staffing, management may honor requests to established a roped swim lane after morning practice for an hour. Use of the roped lane will be available on a first come, first served basis. Additional roped lanes may be established at the discretion of pool management.
