Splash Swim Club To Open In Broomall May 25

BROOMALL, PA — Formerly the Marple Newtown Swim Club, Splash Club is about to open its doors for the summer.

John McKenzie and Nick Reynolds will unveil Splash Club on May 25.

The club sits on 13 secluded acres at 2705 Sunset Boulevard in Broomall.

The pair have tapped Chefs Dan Merola and John Hearn, the chef/owners of Roots Café in West Chester and the visionaries behind the culinary-based consulting firm Fleur De Sel, as their culinary consultants for creating The Wave, an upscale 60-seat restaurant located under a 2,000 square-foot pavilion adjacent to the pools.

Merola and Hearn’s menu will include a variety of scratch-made appetizers and entrées for lunch and dinner, along with summer-friendly desserts served both at The Wave as well as at an on-site food truck, which will operate on the property all summer long.

Splash is a newly restored summertime resort for families of all ages in Delaware County featuring three family-sized swimming pools, a fire pit, luxurious cabana seating, a newly renovated basketball court, a landscaped Wiffle Ball field and an air-conditioned game room featuring X-box and Nintendo consoles.

"At The Wave, we want to focus on producing really satisfying menu options that look and taste like they’ve been prepared at an upscale restaurant, including a variety of street tacos, a certified black angus burger, overstuffed sandwiches, a selection of artisan flatbread pizzas and a handful of summer salads," said Hearn. "This is a swim club where there will be many families enjoying the comfortable confines of a poolside restaurant, so we want to offer options which will feed the entire family while not breaking the bank. We’re intent on making The Wave a high-quality, family-friendly restaurant that is accessible to Splash members as well as to the public."

Merola and Hearn are also unveiling family-sized entrees and sides, including a 32 ounce Ribeye steak with Pommes Frites and grilled vegetables; fried chicken with macaroni and cheese, coleslaw and potato salad; half rack of ribs with collard greens with mac and cheese; and fish & chips with French fries and coleslaw.

Splash will make its debut at the former site of the Marple-Newtown swim club with a ceremonial “first splash" on May 25 at 10 a.m.

The resort-style swim club and The Wave will be open from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. daily, with the pools closing at 8 p.m. nightly.
