ANYONE REMEMBER THE MIRAMAR CLUB UP UNTIL THE 1960’S ON EAST WASHINGTON STREET ON THE FAR EAST SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS. NOTHING BUT STRIP MALLS THERE NOW.

A charter member from the day it opened till it closed. I even worked there in high school. Had many great times there!
Was it closer to Post or Mitthoefer. We were members but the are has changed so much.
Yup! My aunt was a member and used to take me there to go swimming all the time. I have several very vivid memories of those odd things you seem to remember from when you are a kid. I remember that to get to the pool from the ladies “locker” room, you had to walk through a shallow footbath of some yucky liquid that was supposed to kill athletes foot. I remember when they played “Rock Around The Clock” over the speakers at the snack bar. I remember that the pool seemed massive to me and that the diving area was extremely deep. There’s a bunch more, but that’s enough. Anyone know what happened to it (especially that pool!) and what’s there now?
Our Family joined the Club after my Parents best friends were members there. Most of the pool was 3 ft. deep, but the diving area was 14 ft. It was a test of your bravery to try and sink to the bottom of that 14 ft. It made your ears ache badly. Always envious of those who wore a colored tagged necklace with a red tag. I think it was from 1955.
Drove by this place a few times myself. Was always going to check it out but never did.
NEVER WENT INSIDE. WASN’T A MEMBER BUT DROVE PAST IT A THOUSAND TIMES. USED TO LIVE NOT TO FAR FROM IT ON 10th STREET JUST OFF POST ROAD ACROSS FROM THE OLD WARREN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ON THE CORNER OF POST RD. AND 10th.
