The Colony Pool Club

Been coming here since Covid. Grateful to have found this gem. The concessions have changed ...not for the better...and yes Mike was the problem this summer. Glad he is gone. Very disrespectful to the life guards...and he is a gym teacher in Bloomfield?? The kids who life guard have always been on point and should be respected not only by management but the children who frequent the club.

***UPDATE*** was there again today, still just as good. The snack bar seemed to have some pretty great food too. Such a great swimming hole. It's a man-made lake with a great atmosphere. We were there for my daughter's swim meet and thought it was really cool. I get some people are turned off by the "look" of the water, but it's fresh water without a ton of chemicals so.... Anyway, wish it was closer to us because then joining would make sense for us. The staff seemed really "on the ball" too and that they want you to have fun but be safe at the same time, I respect that.

Enjoyed colony for the past 30 years off and on when visiting family. Great little beach / swimming area in the heart of Chatham, special considering what others have around the country. Do not trust their lifeguards, they're lucky to have not had a drowning incident, or maybe they have. Guards are bored, not paying attention and have headphones in their ears. Otherwise if you're a parent its a nice experience, just plan to watch your own children to be safe and dont rely on their provided lifeguards.

Great family pool. Kids love going as do the adults. Relaxed atmosphere, good snack bar, grilling areas, diving boards, and 2 playgrounds for the kids.

Lovely and as natural as pool clubs get, we can't say enough nice things about this place. Sand beach, plenty of space, chairs for everyone, bbq pits, a snack shop, and so much kid stuff.
