Broomall’s Lake Country Club
Greetings Members:
A hearty welcome to the returning members and any new members to
the 2015 season. We have lots of new, interactive ideas for members
young and old during the upcoming summer months. Here’s hoping the
weather cooperates!
We’ve had a lot of positive feedback regarding the social offerings we
had in 2014. Stay tuned for announcements on our 2015 social calendar.
As some of you may be aware, BLCC is launching our new, improved
website for 2015. We will have events, swim team schedules and results,
daily calendar and more available on the website. Contact us via the
website if there is anything you feel would be helpful or of interest.
It is unfortunate that this bears mentioning, but the front gate and
YMCA management will have increased vigilance in keeping
unauthorized persons from entering the pool area via back woods and
trails. We will be fencing in the areas behind the snack bar due to
repeated offenders ‘skipping the gate’ and entering unlawfully. Anyone
promoting or participating in unlawful entry to the pool will be stripped
of membership without refund. Please help keep our club operating in the
best interest of ALL members. Guest passes will still be available at the
front entrance.
We’d like to give a warm BLCC welcome to Vinnie’s Place as our
new snack bar caterer. They have some new ideas regarding tasty and
healthy options they will bring to the table, rest assured we’ve heard your
‘water ice’ concerns!
Thanks to all our loyal members who volunteer with the swim team
and help to keep up the maintenance of the club. Remember this is your
club and we all need to pitch in to keep it clean and safe for use of
members and guests.
Here’s to a great 2015 season and SEE YOU AT THE POOL!
Warmest wishes,
Henry Barusevicius Jr.
BLCC President

The risks include, among other things: muscular strains and sprains; cardiac complications;
accidental drowning; slips and falls getting in and out of the pool and around the pool facility.
Furthermore, BLCC employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are
not infallible. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions, and the equipment being
used might malfunction.

My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the
risks.

BLCC Dolphin Swim Team
BLCCswim.com
The BLCC Dolphin Swim Team originated in 1969 with Carol Wilson as the
first volunteer Chairperson. Over the years, through dedicated teamwork, the
BLCC Dolphin Swim Team has tripled in size and spirit. Coaches, swimmers
and parents alike make this team truly special and we have lots of fun. The only
requirement to join is the ability to swim one length of the pool, freestyle,
without stopping. There are over 100 kids on the team ranging in age from 5 to
18, representing all swim levels, from record holders to beginners. There is a
place for everyone! Winning is terrific but the BLCC swim team is
committed to developing our young swimmers into confident,
conscientious individuals for future generations to come.
Dolphin Swim Team Fast Facts:
• All BLCC members, ages 5-18 are encouraged to join! The only
requirement is the ability to swim one lap of freestyle without stopping.
• Team practices start the first week in June, after school, with regular
practices starting when school ends, in mid-June. Summer practices are
held Monday-Friday during morning hours. Practice times will be posted on
the Team Bulletin Board at BLCC and by email, at the coach’s discretion.
• Contact Team Coordinators Marianne Linton (mnlinton@comcast.net)
and Paige Loper (paigeandjohn@verizon.net) to add your new swimmer’s
name to the roster. A table will be set up the first 2 weeks in June during
practice times for child registration, payment of dues and team suit & spirit
wear orders. YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR CHILD BEFORE THEY CAN
SWIM! A parents meeting will be scheduled the first week of practice where
you can meet the coaches, ask questions and volunteer for one of our great
committees. This team operates on the strength of its volunteers and we boast
nearly 100% parent participation.
• Varsity Swim Meets are held on SATURDAY MORNINGS from mid-June
through the end of July, starting at 9:30am, usually ending at noon. Parents
are encouraged to volunteer (time, officiate, snack bar) at all home and away
meets. JV Meets (for younger and new swimmers) are held Wednesday
evenings.
• Meets include 52 individual events and freestyle relays. Age group
breakdowns include: 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under, 14 & Under, and
18 & Under.
• BLCC will be competing in the “B” Division of the Delaware County Swim
League, which consists of A, B & C Divisions. Placement is based on
previous season win-loss record.

Broomall’s Lake Country Club
• BLCC competes in several Relay Carnivals during the season, usually held in
the evenings during the week. BLCC usually holds it’s own relay carnival on
the third Thursday in July.
• Championships take place the last weekend in July, with the 2 top
finishers in each event qualifying for the Meet of Champions the next day
competing with Delco “A” and “C” qualifiers. The top 2 Delco League
finishers at the Meet of Champs then qualify for the Delaware County Times
“Elite Meet,” competing against the elite swimmers from both the Intra
County and Suburban Swim League.
• End of season is celebrated the last week in July with a Team Banquet at
the BLCC Lakeside Clubhouse. Mid-season and post-season are celebrated

BLCC Water Quality Procedures
Rules and regulations are for the protection and benefit of all to ensure
safe and sanitary operation of the pool and other facilities of the broomall’s
lake country club.
BLCC procedures & equipment for insuring quality water.
• State of the art automatic equipment - for adding & monitoring of
chemicals for the water is installed in the pump room.
• A very expensive “clear water system”- to add additional
protection to the chlorine treated water used to meet and exceed
state requirements installed and doing a great job. For information
on web site about system, contact Joe Romano, resident manager
for web site.
• As water passes through the filtering process, electrodes installed in
the pipes destroy bacteria in the water. This system is not required
by the state but installed by blcc to add extra protection for pool
water. “Clear water system” is installed in a lot of pools in the usa
& other countries but limited use in our immediate area because of
the high cost of installing the system.
• Independent laboratory “quality control” is under contract with
blcc to test water & review test records each week to make sure it is
safe & meets all the requirements for safe pool water. These reports
go to media health department with copies to blcc joe romano, cpo
resident manager.
• Health departments: the media health department and state
inspect the pools and facilities.
• Special automatic vacuum cleaners: put in the pools each night
and spend 14 hours cleaning pools.
• Hourly tests of the water: conducted to check the amount of
chemicals in the water so immediate adjustments can be made by
joe romano, cpo, if they do not meet the required state standards.
• Certified pool operator (cpo): joe romano resident manager has
attended courses and obtained certification as a cpo and has all the
qualifications necessary to maintain the water at safe levels for
swimming. Joe is backed up by ymca cpo personnel. Contact Joe
Romano if you would like a tour of the pump room where the water
goes through the cleaning and adding of chemicals process.

Broomall’s Lake Country Club
How members and guests can help ensure safe and sanitary
operation of the pool :
Please come to the pool clean.
Take a shower before entering the pools.
Non-toilet trained individuals prohibited
(Without exception) from entering the big pool.
Individuals wearing diapers in the baby pool must also wear vinyl
protective pants even when wearing leak proof diapers.
Contact pool office to see if they have any if you need to purchase
Vinyl pants or go to local store.
Do not come to the pool if you are sick, have open sores or anything
that would be harmful to other individuals using the facility.
If you observe any unhygienic health situations
Call it to the attention of the pool manager
Emergency Action
What happens if any human waste appears in pools?
Pools are immediately closed and not reopened until the water is super
chlorinated. Pool closing could be 24 to 48 hours or more until the
water has been tested and declared safe for use.
BLCC and members working together as a team
Will continue to make the club something
We are all proud of!!!
