Sporty Peachy recommends the Athletic & Swim Club!




Whom You Know is all about everyone, particularly Manhattanites, being the best they can be all-around, and part of that is being in shape! Peachy Deegan believes that swimming is one of the best exercises if not THE best...however, as anyone in the Big Apple knows, finding a clean, enjoyable, convenient pool is far easier said than done!

Have no fear Whom You Know readers, particularly if you are near the Athletic & Swim Club! The Athletic & Swim Club has all the right tools for a great health and fitness experience. It is cleverly disguised underground as seen as the photos above, but Whom You Know has found it for you! Ever since ClubCorp founded the Club in 1987, the goal has been to create a comfortable space for Members to visit and get results, whether it happens in big jumps or in little steps. Peachy Deegan has swam in this pool several times quite happily!

Members enjoy programs and services in a beautifully designed 30,000-square-foot facility. The world class fitness area has the newest cardiovascular machines (individual screen TVs) and weight-conditioning equipment. The 25-yard indoor lap pool is the main draw according to Whom You Know. Group exercise classes include Spin, Pilates and yoga and personal training is available, as well as massage services.

The Athletic & Swim club is part of the Dallas-based ClubCorp. Internationally ClubCorp’s affiliates own or operate nearly 170 golf courses, country clubs, private business and sports clubs and resorts. The company’s 18,000 employees serve the nearly 200,000 Member households and 200,000 guests who visit ClubCorp properties each year.

In 2006, ClubCorp became a portfolio company of KSL Capital Partners, which specializes in five sectors in the travel and leisure industry: hospitality, recreation, clubs, real estate and travel services. KSL Capital Partners’ independent management company, KSL Resorts, currently manages three premier California Resort destinations, including the historic Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, renowned La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad near San Diego and Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage.
