Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Fry’s Spring Beach Club.
FSBC sits on seven shady acres in the heart of the city and boasts three swimming pools. Our big pool is Olympic-sized and offers some of the only long-course swimming in the area. Our lighted pickleball courts are new as of 2024. The grounds also include play spaces for basketball, sand volleyball, and soccer. Your kids will have trouble deciding between the expansive playgrounds and the pools. FSBC is the place to let them experience the freedom that summer brings.
Our bar and grille is open daily during the summer. Grab a drink and relax in a chair on the grounds. The community here is the best part of FSBC. Members here tend to be relaxed and friendly. They are supportive of our goals of inclusivity and diversity. FSBC’s scholarship program is a big part of what makes us special and distinguishes us from other clubs in the area. We extend membership scholarships to 10% of families here each year.
Member children ages 4 and up and welcome to participate in our swim team. New swimmers are nurtured and learn to swim in our mini-dolphin program. We also offer private and group swim lessons for members of all ages. Additional offerings include volleyball and pickleball leagues. Members receive discounted summer camp tuition.
We host live music on our outdoor stage every Saturday evening in the summer. We also offer year-round events including concerts in our historic ballroom. Read on for information on becoming a member, the different types of memberships that we offer, and sign up today.
FSBC offers two types of membership: Voting and Non-Voting.
Voting members are important for the financial sustainment and leadership of the club. Voting Members pay an initial voting membership fee of $1,200. The fee may be paid in three annual installments. Benefits include:
Non-voting members pay a one-time initiation fee: $295/Family; $255/Dual Membership; $190/Individual.
When you apply and join the FSBC waitlist, you pay a joining fee. This fee is deducted from the voting membership fee or the non-voting initiation fee when you are accepted as a member.
Membership Categories
Within each membership type (voting and non-voting), there are membership categories: Family, Dual, and Individual.
Individual: Any one adult over the age of 18. Minors are not eligible for individual memberships.
Dual: Any two adults, or one adult and one child. These memberships are intended for couples (with no children), or a single parent and one child, in both cases living under one roof. Also includes two adults and infant(s) until the oldest child is aged 2 years.
Family: Any one or two parents (or step-parents/legal guardians) and their children (up to age 22) living under the same roof. These memberships may include dependents.
The FSBC Board of Directors sets each year’s annual dues at the end of the previous year. Any membership invoices generated in advance will be adjusted accordingly.
Membership dues are due by March 1 each year for all returning members. Members that do not pay their dues on time will need to repay the joining fee, without exception. They may also risk losing their membership spot.
New Members must pay their dues by May 1 of the year that they are accepted as members. The fee that they paid to join the waitlist is deducted from the initiation fee or voting membership fee, not from the annual dues.
The 2025 Annual Dues are as follows:
Senior members ages 65+ are eligible for a 30% discount on annual dues. Full-time students may receive a 25% discount. Both members of a dual membership must be eligible for the discount in order for it to apply.
If you would like to join FSBC, you must first register for the waitlist and pay the waitlist fee.
Waitlist fees are non-refundable though they will be applied to your membership fees (either the voting membership fee or the non-voting membership initiation fee) when you become a member. If you become a voting member, you will owe the $1,200 voting membership fee less the waitlist fee. If you are a non-voting member, your waitlist fee covers the full cost of the one-time initiation fee. You are responsible for paying the annual dues for the year as well.
FSBC accepts and notifies new members via email in the spring of each year. If a spot becomes available for you and you are not ready to become a member, you may defer your membership and remain on the waitlist for up to one year.
Your place on the waitlist will be determined by the date and time when you register. Payment is required online to complete registration.
If you do not have the opportunity to become a member in the current year, you will remain on the waiting list until the following year or when space becomes available. FSBC caps the number of family and dual membership spots each year. We do not cap individual memberships. Therefore, prospective individual memberships are usually able to join the club as soon as they apply.
Please note that all memberships are conditional until approved by the FSBC Board of Directors or its designee.
If you are a current member and unable to join us for the upcoming summer, you have the option of putting your membership on hold for the year that you will be away. This will allow you to avoid paying the rejoining fee the following year and having to register for the waitlist before rejoining.
The cost to put a membership on hold is $130/individual; $190/dual; and $220/family membership. You may change your status and pay the hold fee by logging into your account online and changing your membership status. The deadline for putting your membership on hold for the year is March 1.
