Marlboro Swim Club Opens To Colts Neck, Manalapan In 2021

MARLBORO, NJ - It’s a deal that’s making a splash with Monmouth County families.

As part of a shared services program with neighboring municipalities, Manalapan, Colts Neck and Old Bridge locals can now utilize Marlboro's summer facilities.

2021 membership passes are now available for the swim club, with locals ages 15 and over now eligible to apply (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). The club offers four swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis, pickleball and paddle ball courts, two playgrounds and a snack bar.

Families that reside outside Marlboro, Manalapan, Colts Neck and Old Bridge may also join the club for a fee. Face masks will be required and social distancing will be enforced.

For Marlboro residents, additional activities sponsored by the township are just around the corner, including:

• Spring Soccer: Registration is now open for boys and girls in preschool through grade 12 and SCOPE.
• Spring Scavenger Hunt: Residents are invited to participate in Marlboro Recreation's Town Wide Scavenger Hunt on March 20 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Registration required. $5 fee per car.
• Scrambled Eggstravaganza: This free event will feature an egg drop drive-thru, giveaways, special guests and festive photo opportunities on April 3 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Pre-registration is required.

Residents can visit www.marlboro-nj.gov/signup to register for township-sponsored activities.

Marlboro Mayor Jon Hornik also recently announced the return of summer camps in the township, although typical summer camp fare and related activities may be slightly different for children this year due to COVID-19 concerns.

“At this time we are excited to be moving forward to a “healthier” new normal, but we are not quite there yet as we are still waiting on state guidance and safety protocols regarding summer camps,” Hornik wrote in an email to residents. “That being said, we are pleased to announce that we are hard at work making sure that we will be offering some type of summer program for our community. Our camp will not look like it has in previous summers with traditional trips off-site on buses, but we will be offering a program that will be safe and fun for our campers.”

Marlboro summer camps will not be offering travel, theater, before or after care offered this year. Registration will be open to Marlboro residents grades K through 6 on a first-come, first-serve basis.

More details will be announced at a later date, Hornik said.
