    No, OPP memberships are not transferable.

  • How do I make a party reservation request?

    If your group consists of more than 10 non-members you must make a party reservation request. Making the request does not guarantee or imply approval of your event, and all requests are subject to review. Parties may only be booked by members in good standing and no parties may be booked on holidays or concurrent with swim team events. Party reservation requests can be made  HERE

  • How can I get more information on the swim team?

  • Is there a wait-list to join OPP?

    It varies.  We are a limited membership-only pool, and can only offer memberships when they become available.  We accept applications throughout the year and fulfill them in the order in which they are received. If you're interested in joining please visit our JOIN PAGE

  • How long does it usually take to move to the top of the list?

    Again, it varies. An existing membership must be relinquished before we can offer a new one for sale.  Most memberships turn over in the off-season, but memberships sometimes become available after March 1, when invoices are due.

  • Can I join for one season?

    It is possible to join for a single season, but your initiation fees cannot be re-applied.  After relinquishing a membership you must re-join and pay the fee of $2,000 again. All annual dues & assessments are non-refundable.  Once you become a member, the membership is yours until you decide to leave or fail to pay the annual dues/assessment.
