The Club boasts outstanding programs in aquatics, tennis, platform tennis, and pickleball. As the Club continued its growth in the early years, it welcomed swimming in 1937 with the building of its first pool. The pool was acclaimed as one of the finest facilities in the country and was under the direction of Mike Peppe who was also the Ohio State coach and U.S. Olympic Diving coach. Peppe brought his greatest stars to Scioto for summer workouts, or swimming and diving exhibitions. Today, the aquatics facility has four pools and has enclosed the competition lap pool for year-around swimming. As one of the few facilities in Central Ohio that still have a three-meter diving board, the Club continues its great tradition of swimming and diving excellence with programs for all levels of participants, including learn to swim programs, children’s swim and dive teams in the summer as well as a winter swim program. The Tennis program restarted at the Club in the early 1960’s. Today, the Club has nine Har-Tru Courts, two hard courts, and two pickleball courts with programming for players of all levels. The tennis program features many social and competitive functions on its yearly calendar, with weekly clinics, USTA and GCTA team play, men's and women's play nights, mixed-couples events, as well as junior clinics and events. Platform tennis, a sport mostly played in the winter, came onto the scene in 1976. The Club's new premier facility, completed in December 2019, has four-heated, elevated courts, complete with LED Lights that allow play even in the coldest conditions. A four-player game, platform tennis is a fun and challenging activity for individuals and families looking for outside exercise in the winter months. After play, Members can retire to the warmth of our State-of-the-Art warming hut, complete with full bar, fireplace, flat screen TV's, tables and wrap around window seating. The Club also has been the host site for the Columbus Open. Pickleball started at Scioto in 2017. Played mostly in the summer months, the sport is one of the fastest growing in the country. Played with a paddle and a perforated plastic ball on Scioto's two brand new pickleball courts. The Club also has four additional pickleball court lines painted on the hard tennis courts. Pickleball is a very fast paced game using elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. It is a paddle sport for all ages and skill levels. The Club will have an indoor tennis facility in Fall of 2022, enclosing two tennis courts and four pickleball courts.
