Beaches & Swimming

Swim Lessons by Lifeguards ~ Daily ~ 11:00 am at the Beach. Our beach area is used for many activities throught the season. To make it enjoyable for all members, please read all signs and posted notices. Safety is our top priority.

Please read Section IX of the Rules & Regulations for more information.

Water Quality
The Bathing Water Quality is tested weekly. The water quality is monitored by the State of New Jersey – DEP.

Lifeguards
There are lifeguards on duty 7 days a week. The beach rules are posted on the lifeguard stands. Directives from Lifeguards must be followed at all times. In the event of thunder or lightning swimming is prohibited. Occasionally, we may not have staffing to cover all days during the season. On these days, we operate as an "Exempt Facility" where there are no lifeguards but the rescue equiment and first aid supplies are put out at the lifeguard stand for use in an emergency.

Boats
All boats must stay clear of the swimming areas. Boats may not drop off or pick-up swimmers from within the roped off areas.

Maintenance
Every morning the beach is raked, the swimming area is checked to be safe.

Badges
Remember to wear your badge when on Lake Wallkill properties. The Badge Checker will be walking around looking for members wearing their badges.

Members who have paid their dues and assessments in full can pick up their Membership Badges and Car Stickers from Violet in the Office. Please make your request ahead of time, Violet has many badges and car stickers to organize. Also, ask about the boat stickers if you have a boat in Lake Wallkill waters.
