Noting that All Are Welcome At Broadmead Swim Club
To the Editor:
I was disheartened to read all the letters sent into Town Topics and other local publications lamenting about the impending closure of Nassau Swim Club (NSC). I am hoping that Princeton University reverses its decision so that people can continue to enjoy NSC, especially those families who have had generations of members attending NSC over the years.
I have not had the pleasure of swimming at NSC, but from what I know of the pool, it seems very similar to Broadmead Swim Club (Broadmead) in Princeton, to which my family and I have been members for the past several years. Small, quaint, neighborhood-focused pools are wonderful summer destinations in Princeton, and both NSC and Broadmead provide immense value to the University and overall town community. I truly feel for NSC members who are faced with losing their neighborhood pool, as I would feel the same way if Broadmead had to close.
If the University does, in fact, finalize its decision to terminate its lease to NSC, I invite everyone who has been affected to please consider joining Broadmead. All members of Broadmead are lovely and we all feel very passionate about the pool in much the same way that the authors of the aforementioned letters do about NSC. It would be sad to lose NSC, but please know that NSC members will always be welcome to find a new “home” at Broadmead, where all are welcome.
