• Owners pay Annual Membership Dues each year by May 1. Non-payment by the 2nd Monday of May puts your ownership in jeopardy.
• You must be an owner to register for an annual membership  and to use the club as a member

Provisional memberships may be offered by the club as authorized by the Board of Directors. These are temporary, one season non-ownership memberships that do not come with voting and other rights, but allow you access to the club for one season.

If you are interested in purchasing a provisional membership, join our waitlist and select yes to the question “are you interested in purchasing a provisional membership?” If offered a provisional membership, you will be sent information via email on how to complete your purchase. We anticipate notifying eligible families in the Spring of 2024 if provisional memberships are available. Provisional memberships are subject to authorization by the Board of Directors.

Current Certificate Owners 

Current Certificate Owners in-good-standing have two options for transferring their Owner’s Certificate- selling their certificate on the private market, or donating their certificate back to the pool. Transferring a Owner’s Certificate requires filling out and submitting the Owner’s Certificate Transfer Application- either online or by downloading the PDF from your Member Dashboard. 

To sell your Owner’s Certificate, you must pay the $25 Transfer Fee that must be paid by the seller. Owners can then sell for whatever price the Buyer and Seller can agree upon. It is the Owner’s responsibility to find your own Buyer through social media, church, school and word-of-mouth. We can provide waitlist names and contact information for persons wishing to purchase a bond. Currently there are nearly 200 persons on the waitlist and an estimated two year wait to purchase a Owner’s Certificate. 

Donating your owner’s certificate back to the pool is a hassle free option that saves you time and allows a new member to join at the club’s set rate (currently $250). With this option, no transfer fee is charged, and the certificate will be sold to a member on the waiting list at the current club price of $250.  

Certificate Transfer Fee

Price: $25.00

To buy an Owner’s Certificate from a current Owner you need to find a qualified interested Seller. If on the waitlist, owners may contact you to purchase a certificate at a price you both agree upon. Purchasing a certificate from an Owner is the quickest way to become an Owner, as the club does not get many certificates back to sell each year. When you connect with a seller check with the Administrative Manager to verify that your Seller is an Owner in-good-standing with a valid Certificate to sell.

The Seller should submit to the club, the official Transfer form- either through the member dashboard or by downloading the PDF. Buyers will submit a Membership Application form through the Administrative Manger or pool office in season to complete the transfer and membership process. Expect the process to take between 3 to 5 business days. 

Northwest Swim Club takes no responsibility for the exchange of money between buyers and sellers. We suggest using a secure backed method such as PayPal or transferring funds in person (at the pool when in season) once verifying a legitimate seller. 

Wait List Fee

We are currently operating with a waitlist for those wanting to purchase a bond certificate directly from the club (for $250), which can be between two to three summer seasons. Join the wait list now and secure your spot in line to purchase a bond directly from the club when they become available. The waitlist is also provided to current bold holders who are looking to sell their bonds on the private market. 

Additionally, joining the waitlist also allows you to be notified of any provisional memberships offered by the club. These are temporary one year non-ownership memberships that do not come with voting and other rights, but allow you access to the club for one season. You do not have to purchase a provisional membership to stay on the waitlist.  If offered a provisional membership, you will be sent information via email on how to complete your purchase.
