EQUITY MEMBERSHIP

Equity Members are our members who have chosen to invest and become owners of the Swim Club.  Each equity member family has committed to this investment, by purchasing a one time share fee ($750).  To keep an equity membership in good standing, annual summer dues must be paid. These annual summer dues will be 20% less than the non equity summer dues. We are able to determine our budget based on our equity membership. These members commit to being lifetime members of the pool. Equity members are also voting members and will assist the board in the decision making for the Swim Club.

• Own equity in Sherwood Swim Club
• Discounted annual summer fees
• Discounted swim team fee
• Discounted dive team fee
• Discounted swim lesson fee ($100 for 5-30 minute private lessons)
• May host parties (lifeguard fees TBD)
• Free after hours rental (lifeguard fees TBD)
• 50% discount for party guest fees
• Swim/dive any time the pool is open
• Everyone in your household is a member
  • Grandma too, if she lives with you
  • Your grandchildren, under 18 years old

Yearly summer fees must be paid to keep your Equity Membership in good standing.  You also have 1 year to make payments for the one time share fee ($750).

WHY EQUITY MEMBERSHIP?

• Helps provide Sherwood with an adequate capital base and for you, ownership!
• An equity ownership’s purpose is to assist Sherwood in meeting member needs. Sherwood invests it to better meet our member needs. Meeting our members needs takes capital.
• Low cost way of building capital and less risky than depending on earnings or owing a bank.
• You are investing in the future of Sherwood Swim Club.  This ensures the pool will continue to operate, build capital and make needed improvements.

NON-EQUITY MEMBERSHIP

Non-Equity Members join the pool summer to summer and pay the annual summer dues. Although committed to supporting the Swim Club, just join from year to year. We are unable to base our budget on these, because of not knowing who will join from season to season.

• Discounted swim team fee
• Discounted dive team fee
• Discounted swim lesson fee ($125 for 5-30 minute private lessons)
• May host parties ($20 after hours fee, lifeguard fees TBD)
• Swim/dive any time the pool is open
• Everyone in your household is a member
  • Grandma too, if she lives with you
  • Your under 18 grandchildren
