Montgomery Village News Articles
Swim team registration is open
Village swim teams provide one of the perennial favorite summer activities for Village children ages 4 to 18 (as of June 1 of the current year) whose families are members of Montgomery Village Foundation (MVF) pools. Montgomery Village Swim Teams are run by parent volunteers, not by MVF.
But how do you become a member of the pool and which swim team do you belong to? Most homeowners in good standing with MVF pay a quarterly assessment for pools and community centers and are a member of the pools. Families who live in condominiums or apartments and do not pay the assessment for pools and community centers but wish to join a swim team can “buy in” and purchase an MVF Pool Membership or a Swim Team Only pass. A valid MVF Activity Card with annual validation sticker is required for entry. Additional swim team registration fees also apply.
