OFF-SEASON

Thanks for a great summer Ridgewood Nation!  We hope to see you all back again in Summer 2020!

Ridgewood Pool does not keep any staff on duty during the off-season, September through mid-May.   However, you can reach the Membership Coordinator by email at info@ridgewoodpool.com for off-season inquiries.
When will registration open for 2020?
Registration will open for returning members by early February, and for new members on April 15.  We do plan to again offer a limited number of trial memberships at a discounted price for families who are trying Ridgewood for the first time ever. Check out our Membership page for details on memberships.

When can we expect to see website updates?
The website will begin being updated in January.  The All-City League Board finalizes dates and fees in their January meeting, after which time Ridgewood is able to finalize our program schedule for things like Stroke Clinic, Swim/Dive Meets, lesson signups, and social events, as well as finalize our own fees.

What about Stock?
  • SELLING:  We continue to be in a position to buy back stock from current stockholders.  There was a time when we maintained a lengthy waiting list for people to have their stock redeemed by the pool, which resulted in stockholders selling their stock at a discount.  That period was driven by reduced demand for new stock sales around the time of the recession.  As the economy recovered, that slump was resolved by renewed demand for stock, eliminating that wait list several years ago.  Sellers are now able to sell their stock back to the pool for the full face value of their stock.  *Stock redemptions MUST be approved by the Membership Coordinator prior to submission.  Requests for approvals may be submitted through September 2019, then again once registration opens in 2020. *  Please see our Stock Details page for instructions on how to sell your stock back through the pool.
  • BUYING:  There is a one time fee to purchase stock, separate from yearly membership dues.  If you were a trial member in 2019 and would like to return for more summers of fun with us at the pool, you MUST purchase stock.   Stock purchases are optional for Adult-Only memberships. Payment can be made in full, or with our stock installment plan of three consecutive non-refundable payments of $200 over 3 years. Stock is purchased during your registration process: you can choose either payment option at that time.  Please  see our Stock Details page for more information regarding buying stock.
