Rate Increase Proposed at Holmdel Swim Club

Membership to the Holmdel Swim Club will increase by five percent for residents, and 7.5% for non-residents, under a proposal to be voted upon by the Township Committee on March 22.

Last year, approximately 850 people bought memberships to the club, most of them non-residents. If membership levels stay the same, the utility's income would increase by $28,215, according to the Recreation Dept.

That number can go even higher if the township can attract some nearby Middletown families, who just learned the township will not be opening their club this summer for financial reasons. But Holmdel has competition. Hazlet Township's Swim Club has been actively luring Middletown members for weeks with reduced non-member rates. Provided the Township Committee approves the rate increase following a public hearing on March 22, Holmdel will finally be able to sign up new members.
