Community Swim Program


George School's indoor Marshall-Platt Pool is available for public use through the Community Swim Program. With eight lanes and a length of twenty-five meters, the pool is significantly larger than standard swimming pools. It also includes a set of stairs with railings to facilitate easy access into the water. 

For further details and any questions regarding the Community Swim Program, including membership information, class schedule and fees, registration, and weekly schedules, email Elaine Clay or call 215.579.6690.  Email is preferred (elaine_clay@georgeschool.org)
