Swim lessons and lap swimming, all year
The pool at Wembley runs every month. From late May the dome comes down and it is an outdoor pool; in September the dome goes back over it and members swim indoors through the Cleveland winter.

Summer at the pool
The dome comes off in late May and the heated pool sits open to the sky until early September.

- the pool is open in every month
- 10 acres

Cabanas, a baby pool and lifeguards on the stand
Shaded cabanas line the deck for lounging, and the baby pool gives the smallest swimmers water of their own. Certified lifeguards watch the pool while children splash and play.
The water is not the whole afternoon. A full-size sand volleyball court, a Gaga ball pit, a swing set and a sand play area sit on the same ten private wooded acres.

September
In September a dome goes over the pool
A Cleveland winter closes most outdoor pools for months. The club installs a giant dome over this one and keeps swimming.
The same water, heated, indoors
The dome turns the pool into an indoor swim facility for the cold months. Lap swimming and aqua fitness carry straight on daily, and swim lessons run under the dome all winter — you can swim through the snowiest weeks of the year.
Nothing moves to another building. Members walk out to the same pool and the same lanes, with an inflated roof over them instead of the sky.

Off-season pool hours
Monday to Friday 6:30am – 12:00pm and 4:00pm – 8:00pm. Saturday 9:00am – 6:00pm. Sunday 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Rest periods
The last rest period is called at the 45th minute, and we ask everyone to leave the pool deck within 15 minutes.
Who to ask
swim@wembleyclub.com reaches the aquatics director for swim lessons, stroke clinics and the swim team.
Lessons, stroke clinics and the swim team
Your child does not have to wait for the weather to warm up. Lessons run under the dome all winter.
Where a child learns to swim
Swim lessons run year-round — outdoors in summer, under the dome the rest of the year. Water safety matters in February as much as it does in July.
One lesson a week is enough to build on. Each session adds to the last, so a child who starts in the cold months reaches summer already comfortable in the water, and proud of it.
The club also runs a competitive swim team. Lessons, clinics and team places are all arranged through swim@wembleyclub.com.
- Swim lessons. for children learning the water from the beginning
- Stroke clinics. for swimmers refining strokes they already have
- Competitive swim team. for children who want to race
Aqua fitness, in both seasons
Aqua fitness is one of the 120+ group fitness classes a week that membership includes.
Classes in the water
Aqua fitness classes run in the same pool as everything else: outdoors in summer, under the dome from September. Membership includes them, along with the rest of the 120+ classes the club runs every week — yoga, Pilates, cycling, strength, HIIT, boxing, boot camp and barre.
Lap swimming is there for members who would rather set their own pace. The lanes are up in both seasons.
Swimming at Wembley, answered
Anything we have not answered here, the club will answer on (440) 543-8171.
- Can we swim here in February?
- Yes. In September the club installs a giant dome over the pool, which turns it into a heated indoor swim facility. Lap swimming and aqua fitness run daily through the cold months, and swim lessons carry on under the dome all winter. The dome comes down again in late May and the pool is outdoors for the summer.
- Can my child learn to swim here in the winter?
- Swim lessons run year-round, under the dome from September and outdoors from late May. Winter is a good time to start: one lesson a week builds on the last, and a child who begins in the cold months is more confident in the water by summer. Email swim@wembleyclub.com to arrange lessons.
- What are the off-season pool hours?
- Monday to Friday, 6:30am to 12:00pm and 4:00pm to 8:00pm. Saturday, 9:00am to 6:00pm. Sunday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. The last rest period is called at the 45th minute, and we ask everyone to leave the pool deck within 15 minutes.

- Do I have to join for the whole year to use the pool?
