Day Passes at Fanny Chapman Pool Available to All

It’s the first day of summer, which means it’s time for barbeques, vacations and lazy days at the pool.

Luckily, there’s a place where all Doylestown residents can take a dip and cool off. It’s called Fanny Chapman Pool, and it’s located at 10 McKinstry Dr.

Named after the favorite aunt of famous Doylestown resident William Mercer, the Fanny Chapman Memorial Pool opened on June 21, 1927. Renovations and expansions over the years have added several additional pools, allowing the complex to change and grow with the community.

The pool, which is open for membership, typically has about 1,000 members each year. Day passes are available to anyone. A day pass is $15; if you are accompanied by a member, it is $7 for adults and $5 for children.

In addition to being a place where the family can cool off and spend summer days, there are swim lessons and competitive meets at the pool. The pool offers lessons for beginners all the way up to competitive swim and diving teams.

The pool is generally open from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., although hours are sometimes altered if there is swim practice or other activities.
