This area has weathered the test of time for over 25 years requiring a commitment to a complete overhaul from the inside out. This project included many features which are not visible to the observer such as new mechanicals, replacement of air filtration systems and new boiler room equipment and controls, totaling $1.5 million.

Water Safety & Swim Policy

At the Newtown Athletic Club, we are fully committed to ensuring the highest standards of water safety for our valued members and guests. By prioritizing water safety through ongoing training, comprehensive safety protocols and proactive measures, we can ensure a safe, secure and enjoyable swim experience for all.

NAC Swim Policy: All children age 12 or younger are required to pass a swim test to swim on their own in our pools.

  • To pass the swim test, you must swim the entire width of the Escape Resort family pool (50 ft.) without touching the bottom or side of the pool. 
  • After passing the swim test, you will be given a swim band to be worn at all times in the indoor pool and at the resort.
  • Any child (of any age) who does not pass the swim test will be required to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest OR stay in the shallow section of the pool only, within arms reach of a parent or guardian.
