Membership Information

Chesterbrook Swim and Tennis Club has 550 Class A memberships. As described in the Bylaws, the Club grants summer use privileges to individuals or families (“Summer Members”); the Club is limited to 110 Summer Memberships. As Class A memberships become available (when current members decide to sell their membership), Summer Members are offered the opportunity to become Class A Members. If offered a Class A membership, Summer Members must become Class A members or relinquish their summer membership. Families typically remain Summer Members for 1 to 4 years before being offered a full membership. The Membership Director accepts applicants for Summer Membership every January and offers memberships as they become available.

How to Apply for the Summer Member Waitlist

Our Summer Member registration for the 2025 season will open on January 11, 2025, at 12:00 pm. At that time, and not before that time, you will find the link to the registration form on this website, www.chesterbrookclub.com. Complete the registration form and press submit. This is a time-stamped registration. Please fill out only one form. Submitting more than one form does not increase your chances of obtaining summer use privileges. You must apply using the online registration form. Emails and phone calls are not accepted for application purposes. The Membership Director will contact people in the order of application submission to inform them whether they are being offered Summer Membership and summer use privileges. This process begins on March 16th and continues for several weeks. Please note that you need to obtain summer use privileges before you can become a Class A Member.

Names of individuals/families who registered but were not offered a spot on the Summer Member waitlist with summer use privileges are not retained for the following year and must reapply the following January. Applicants who are offered summer use privileges do not need to reapply at any time in the future as they may remain Summer Members until they are offered a full membership. Please note that membership is only available to individuals or families who reside in Virginia and all living in the same household. IF YOU ARE A SUMMER MEMBER AND HAD SUMMER USE PRIVILEGES FROM 2023 -> 2024, YOU RETAIN YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND DO NOT NEED TO RE-REGISTER (BUT MUST STILL PAY SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DUES).

2025 Registration & Payment Due Dates

Anyone that has not paid by April 15th will lose their membership per CST bylaws. Summer Members will be contacted any time after April 1st by the Membership Director with instructions on registration for the 2025 season.

Full Membership

The cost of a full membership includes: a $1,500 one-time initiation fee (not refundable when the membership is sold), a $2,000 one-time share purchase (refunded when the membership is sold), the annual dues described below, and an annual capital assessment charge of $150, paid each year for 5 years upon joining, to help cover the cost borne by all full members for the recent renovations. Full members retain their membership until they decide to sell. Full members are permitted to vote at all annual and special meetings and can participate in the Club’s activities year-round.

The annual dues for a Full Member for 2025 are $1,452 (one or two members in the family) or $1,551 (3 or more members in the family). The annual dues for a family when one or both spouses in the family are 65 years or older are reduced: $1,307 for a family of one or two and $1,396 for a family of three or more. Annual dues are non-refundable and must be paid by March 15th every year, and as described in the bylaws. Annual dues received after March 15th are assessed a 25% penalty

Please note that the membership “family” includes all members residing in the household, including spouses, parents, minor children, adult children under 25 who are full-time students or who normally reside in the household, grandparents living in the household, and childcare providers currently employed by the household and caring for a child. Childcare Providers are defined as professionals under regular employ on a year-round or seasonal basis. Neighborhood or occasional babysitters are not included in the childcare category. Please note that all individuals who fall into these categories are counted in the membership family, regardless of whether they use the Club facilities.

Summer Use Privileges for Individuals/Families on the Waiting List

Summer Membership dues for 2025 are $2,145, regardless of the size of the family. Summer use privileges include the use of the facility during the time when the swimming pool facilities are open, usually mid-May through Labor Day, although the period may be extended or shortened as dictated by the weather and staffing. In 2025, the swim season will be extended to September 30. Summer Members are welcome to participate in all teams and programs; they may not, however, vote or participate in annual or special membership meetings. Those with summer use privileges may enroll in spring, summer and fall tennis programs, teams and lessons under the member fee structure.

As full memberships become available, the Membership Director will offer a full membership to Summer Members on a first come, first served basis determined by the date/time of application. An individual or family who is offered full membership must either accept or turn down the offer. If the individual or family accepts the offer, the individual or family becomes a full member upon payment of the full membership dues specified above (the summer use privileges dues are applied in full towards the full membership dues if the offer is extended after the summer dues are paid. If the individual or family turns down a full membership offer, the individual/family cannot remain Summer Members and summer use privileges are immediately terminated. In this situation, there will be no refund of summer use privilege dues. Any Summer Member who turns down an offer of Full Membership and who is subsequently removed from the waiting list may reapply for membership the following year. An individual or family who turns downs an offer of Full Membership when offered for a second time shall be ineligible to apply for any further membership in the club.

August Rentals

The Club grants August Rental passes to a smaller number of individuals or families who registered but were not offered a Summer Membership. The offers are made all at once and registration will be closed once the maximum number of August Rentals have been purchased. In 2025, August Rentals will include September use privileges. August Rentals cost $915 and permit access to the club’s swim & tennis facilities from August 1st through September 30. August Rentals can rent the pavilion for parties (reservations will only be accepted after July 15th), but cannot buy individual guest passes, do not convey voting privileges, cannot participate in team sports and do not guarantee Summer Membership or an August Rentals the following year.
