Club History

# Club History

Lombard Swim Club was founded in 1961 by a group of Lombard families who wanted a safe, welcoming place for their children to swim and grow. What began as a modest pool with a handful of members has grown into one of DuPage County's most beloved private swim clubs.

## Early Years

The original pool was constructed on Club Drive with volunteer labor from founding families. The first season saw 42 member families and a simple snack bar operated by rotating parent volunteers.

## Growth Through the Decades

Through the 1960s and 70s, LSC expanded its facilities, added a competitive swim team, and established the certificate holder program to honor long-standing members. The 1980s brought renovations to the pool deck and the addition of a permanent snack bar structure.

## Today

Lombard Swim Club now serves hundreds of member families each season. The club remains member-governed through an elected Board of Directors, honoring the spirit of community that founded it nearly 70 years ago.
