Policy Change for 2022
As stated in previous correspondence concerning the Lakeside membership policy, changes to memberships must be made by May 1st. This includes, changing from Inactive to Active and/or adding a household member to the membership. However, the Board of Directors have made the decision to allow flexibility again this year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Therefore, members may reactivate their memberships and/or add a member to their membership after May 2, 2022. A change fee will apply.
The only exception are members who wish to change from Active to Inactive status MUST do so by May 1, 2022.
To make a change to your membership, contact Tammy Glas in the business office to schedule an appointment. [email protected] or 502.454.4585 ext. 221

Current Club Protocol
Effective March 15th Lakeside lifted the mandatory face mask policy due to the Covid Pandemic. Members now have a choice of wearing a mask. Lakeside is committed to the safety and well-being of our members. We will continue to monitor the Center for Disease Control’s recommendations and may make changes to masking or take other measures if circumstances warrant.
Summer policies will be posted in mid-May.
Spring Changeover
The winter pool will close this Saturday, April 16th at 6:00 p.m. The weight room will be open Monday – Friday, April 18 – May 18 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Students in pre-registered Fitness classes will continue through May 20.
What happens during the changeover period? Lakeside undergoes an amazing transformation from our winter facility to the summer season. The swimming pool is drained and painted, and the winter bubble structure cover is dismantled and stored for the summer. Both filter rooms are prepared for summer usage. The lake/quarry bottom is hosed and disinfected as we prepare to fill the Lake for the summer. The gardens are prepped, and plants are planted. Grass is fertilized and manicured. The winter concession operation changes from the combined stations of concession sales, member check in, and swim shop and becomes the summer operation of full food service. Deck chairs, chaises, benches, picnic tables, game tables, occasional tables, basketball and volleyball courts, fences, signage, and pool markers are readied for summer use. Piers and steps receive a fresh coat of paint, as do the markings on the sidewalk, athletic courts, and neighborhood curbs (indicating 4-foot markings for legal parking). The summer front desk is placed in the Gate Pavilion next to the historic Gatehouse with electronics to facilitate member check in. The swim shop is set up for summer guest ticket sales and swim products. The buildings are professionally cleaned and disinfected; along with electrical and plumbing upgrades take place after the weight room closes. Seasonal staff training is conducted by each department with a minimum of 3 trainings up to 10 training sessions prior to opening day. Membership renewals and new member orientations conclude, as Lakeside opens for the summer season Saturday, May 28 at 10:00 a.m.
