The Mill Creek Swim Club features a five-lane lap pool with a maximum depth of five feet, a toddler pool, dry playground and clubhouse facility. 

“We are grateful to the Shodeen family for their generosity in donating the Mill Creek Swim Club to the Geneva Park District. The addition of this pool allows us to address the high demand for our current swim lesson program by adding evening and weekend swim lesson options as well as additional hours for lap swim,” said Lambillotte.

“In addition, with the acquired Mill Creek Swim Club, we can expand our birthday party and rental options. In the future it may provide us with the option to open Sunset Pool earlier for open swim. This addresses a need within the community, which residents have expressed through past surveys and evaluations,” said Lambillotte

The affordable fee structure will include a Sunset Pool Membership as well as a Gold Membership, which includes admission to both Sunset and Mill Creek pools. 

Memberships will be available for both Geneva Park District residents and non-residents. Early Bird pool passes for Sunset Pool are currently available through April 25, with regular rates effective April 26. 

The Gold Pool Membership option will be available after May 1. 

“We anticipate the Mill Creek Swim Club season being mid-June through mid-August. Sunset Pool opens May 24 and will remain open through Labor Day weekend," said Lambillotte.
