Meadow Swim & Tennis Club

What Meadow Swim & Tennis Club does

Meadow Swim & Tennis Club is a private, member-owned recreational club founded in 1955 in Orinda, California, serving families in the Lamorinda area (Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda). The club operates a 6-lane gutterless competition pool (remodeled in 2008 with a dive well and shallow play area) and four tennis courts (two lighted for evening play), alongside a remodeled clubhouse (2016). Programming spans learn-to-swim (the Mini-Dolphin progression), the competitive Meadow Dolphins swim team (ages 4-18, competing in the OMPA league), masters swimming, tennis instruction across all skill levels, adult USTA competitive tennis teams, the Dolphin Days summer program for ages 5-10, yoga, water polo clinics, and seasonal on-site food service through the Meadow Kitchen. Membership is by application with a waitlist of 1-2 years; customer acquisition is community-led through word-of-mouth and regional reputation rather than paid marketing.

The club's revenue model centers on recurring annual membership dues of approximately $3,100 per year ($3,600 in a member's first year including a $50 admin fee, $500 membership fee, $2,700 in dues for FY2026-2027, and a $400 annual assessment for pool upgrades), billed once annually in February for year-round tennis and seasonal pool access (March through mid-October). Supplemental revenue comes from paid add-on programming (swim team, tennis clinics, private lessons, masters swimming, Dolphin Days at $30/day, water polo, yoga), facility rentals (pool parties and clubhouse at $125 plus $30/hour per additional lifeguard), and Meadow Kitchen food service. Payment and registration flow through PayPal and Membership Toolkit; tennis reservations run on Court Reserve and swim team administration on TeamUnify. The club is governed by a volunteer Executive Board elected from the membership, with no disclosed parent company, venture capital, or private equity investment.

The current membership base is approximately 275 families, supported by 11-50 employees and seasonal coaching staff with notable credentials (Kyle Peterson, Todd Krohn, Katie Hayes, Mathis Moysan). Recent operational changes — the 2026 hire of Mathis Moysan, a former ATP Tour professional, as Director of Tennis, and the onboarding of a new food vendor for Meadow Kitchen — signal continued investment in coaching quality and member amenities within a stable, geographically-bounded service area.
