Club History

Guilford Racquet & Swim Club was built in 1973. In 1977, Ron and Susan Netter purchased the indoor club and added the outdoor courts, pools and snack bar in 1978, thus transforming the facility into a year round club suitable for all ages. In 1997, a beautiful playground was designed and installed at the club and is greatly enjoyed for much of the year. In 2008, the outdoor courts were re-surfaced with Nova Cushion ~ far softer than hard courts. Susan Netter managed the club since 1975 and has assembled a great staff, all of whom have contributed to the club's success. Susan and Ron's daughter, Sarah Boone, grew up at the club and began full-time work there in 2003. She has now taken over club management. Many of the staff members have been a part of the club for more than twenty years. It is a pleasure to welcome back the same members year after year; many members have played here for over 25 years.
The guiding philosophy of Guilford Racquet & Swim is that having a happy and competent staff is the best guarantee of maintaining members' satisfaction and all decisions and planning are made with that dual goal in mind. Consistency is the backbone of the club's policies: all members must be treated fairly and equally. We strive to be an exceptional club and a caring community for our members. Susan and Sarah also take great pride in the facility itself and enjoy continually improving and enhancing the club's appearance. They know that it is most gratifying to "do well by doing good" and thus donate to the charitable causes of their members when appropriate. It is their hope and dream to continue with the delightful staff and members for many years to come and finds Guilford the perfect town in which to operate their business.
