What a great place! My daughter joined the swim team when she was 5 years old, and had learned a few swimming basics the previous summer. But she would NOT go in the deep end! I kept asking the coaches, «Are you sure she’s going to be able to swim enough to be on the team?» They kept reassuring me that she’d be keeping up with the others in no time. Three weeks after the swim practice started, I stood at the side of the pool in disbelief, as my little darling jumped in the deep end, swam freestyle with proper breathing technique, and made it to the other end of the pool! As I stood there cheering for her with tears streaming down my face, I realized that almost all activity on the pool deck had stopped as all the parents and kids stopped to cheer my daughter on in her huge accomplishment! We have the friendliest team! The best family-centered club! The most amazing coaches! We’ve participated in two seasons each of spring/summer and fall swim, and we can’t wait to start season #3!

Not your typical swim and tennis club. It’s much more a family oriented club. May not have all the bells and whistles of these of the larger clubs, but just a wonderful spot for kids to have a place to go. Courts tend not to be crowded and have a great swimming program. Played tennis for a long, long time and if you’re in the area, this is the place to be.

Our family has grown up at Glen Oaks. The club is cozy, safe, and inviting. The swim team’s reputation speaks for itself. I’ve enjoyed playing tennis there for several years now. We’ve spent many, many hours up there enjoying weekends, BBQs, birthday parties… and of course the weekly Kids’ Night(when in season) where the young get to roam the prairie with their herd spending some structured and lots of unstructured play time. That’s a family favorite!

Glen Oaks is the Family orientated Cabana club that kids can spend joy filled summer days, as well as participate on a top notch swim team. Being an 18 year member, I can say my children were fortunate to enjoy growing up at Glen Oaks and making life long friendships. In this fast paced media world, Glen Oaks is like a breath of fresh air for families.

Glen Oaks has been one of my second«homes» since 1995. I practically grew up in the pool and on the tennis courts, and even now when I visit as an adult, it still has the same family friendly, welcoming vibe. I can’t say enough positive things about the swim program, especially Roxanne and Gary. It’s perfect for swimmers of all levels, and the skills I learned in the pool(which were more than just technique: work ethic, sportsmanship, team building, and how to have fun) I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The tennis program is where I really found my stride as an adolescent. The lessons I received, club run tournaments, and member connections I made really helped me compete at the varsity level in high school. Glen Oaks isn’t just a pool, or a snackbar, or some tennis courts. It’s not just a place to have a birthday party, or work event. Glen Oaks is a family, a home-away-from-home, a place where memories are made for life.
