Salem Tennis and Swim Club was established in 1962 as a family-oriented Club. Many of the original families still enjoy using the Club. We are a member-owned, not for profit corporation, governed by a 10 member elected Board of Directors consisting of volunteer members from STSC.
On April 1, 1963, construction started on four outside courts with two pools and a pool house added that summer. In 1966, two additional courts were added and two years later in 1968 the clubhouse was constructed. In 1972, two additional outside courts were constructed and two years later in 1974, three courts (courts 1,2,3) were covered. This building was dedicated to Sid A. Boise. One month later the original pool house burned down and was reconstructed in 1975.
To meet the need for more indoor courts, construction began in 1993 on two more indoor courts (courts 4,5) and was completed in March of 1994. This building was dedicated to Jim Schunk, one of the early founders of the club.
The club currently has 5 indoor and 6 outdoor tennis courts, 1 large swimming pool, 1 wading pool, an exercise facility, an activities room, an adult upstairs viewing/lounge area, and a large yard for outdoor picnic use.
