Q: How long will club members be without a swimming pool?
A: Demolition and construction will require the pool to be closed for the 2024 swim season. Construction has been intentionally sequenced to ensure that disruption is minimized to the extent possible, impacting just one season. Additional kids programming during this closure is being explored by the entertainment committee and staff.
Q: Will the club be without a working kitchen during construction?
A: No. The new casual kitchen will be constructed adjacent to the existing kitchen, allowing the current kitchen to continue to serve members and guests during construction. The Pirates Den, Pirates Den Bar and outside/riverfront dining will not be disrupted and will remain open during construction.
Q: Will the Astor Room upstairs be available for member parties and activities during construction?
A: Yes. The first phase of improvements does not impact the availability of Astor Room during construction period. There may be, from time to time, interruptions in access or use; but these will be anticipated in advance and communicated to members.
Q: How long will construction last?
A: The contractor has estimated construction to last about 16 months with an anticipated completion date in December 2024.
Q: When the new pool is done, will members be able to swim laps?
A: Yes, a swim lane has been designed as part of the new pool based on member feedback and requests.
Q: When will the pool be closed and will there be reciprocity?
A: Our pool is closed for construction. For the 2024 Summer, FYC has agreements with The Pool at the Church of the Good Shepherd for lap swimming and with Club Continental for recreational pool use beginning in June. The guidelines for each facility can be found by clicking
