How to Apply

To apply for a Five Oaks membership, complete the application form and pay the $50 non-refundable application fee. The fee is required to be added to the list and is not credited toward your bond or dues when you join.

The Waiting List

Once your application and payment are received, you’ll be added to our waiting list. The list is posted on our website and updated periodically, so you can monitor your position and gauge when you’ll be invited to join. The wait is typically about two years.

Receiving Your Invitation

Each fall or winter, roughly the top 30 names on the list receive invitations to join. We sometimes invite additional names to account for membership shortfalls or those who decline.

When you receive an invitation, you’ll have about 2–3 weeks to accept the offer and pay the $750 bond fee. First-year members pay both the bond fee and their first year’s dues upon accepting.

Membership Types & Annual Dues

All new members initially hold a Family membership and must maintain it until a special membership becomes available. Special memberships are limited and may have their own waiting list.

  • Family — $745
  • Couple — $640
  • Single — $595
  • Senior Couple — $505 (both members must be over 65)
  • Senior Single — $470 (must be over 65)

Guest Policy

Members must be present on the pool grounds with their guests at all times and are responsible for their guests’ conduct. Guest fees apply to non-swimming guests as well.

  • $8 — Weekdays
  • $10 — Weekends
  • $5 — After 5:00 PM (weekdays and weekends)
  • $2 — Children under 2 (at all times)
  • $12 — Holidays: Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day (all day; no after-5:00 PM discount)

You may pay for guests at the front desk with cash, check, or credit card, or purchase guest passes online before your guests arrive.

Nanny/Babysitter passes are available for $25 per week or $150 for the season.

Swim Test

For everyone’s safety, swimmers who wish to access water over their heads, the diving boards, or the slide must pass a swim test.

What the test involves

  • 1 minute of treading water
  • Followed immediately by swimming one full length of the pool without stopping, demonstrating a recognizable stroke
  • The swimmer must remain horizontal throughout — no stopping to stand or tread mid-length

Passing is at the lifeguard’s discretion.

Rules

  • One attempt per day
  • No goggles
  • Parents may not swim alongside the child
  • The test must be administered by a Five Oaks lifeguard

How to take the test

Visit the office and ask when a lifeguard will be available to administer the test.
