Since 1960, the Perry Hall Swim Club has been the close-to-home getaway for summertime fun. This member-owned, non-profit organization limits its annual membership to 325 families. Its 7-acre plot includes two swimming pools, two pavilions, picnic tables, charcoal grills, a playground, a sandbox, a volleyball court, a basketball court and a soccer lot. Large shade trees, umbrellas and lounge chairs add to its relaxing atmosphere. Prospective members are encouraged to apply early in the season.
