Friends; what an incredible facility. It's very clean, well staffed and classes are easily within most budgets. I'm new to the YMCA organization but I'm excited to use & experience others around the country. So for now... I'm reserving the right to modify my review in the future. However I'm sure all others will be compared to this one. Worth the trip when visiting the State Capitol here in VA. ~V.👍🏽

And I live in Henrico as well but I guess my paid membership wasn't enough. I was also then told the family... read more

This is such a great looking facility, but it has very severe management problems. The family pool is rarely open due to staffing issues. All children 12 and under must take a swim test before entering the pool even if they have passed before, either at this location or other locations. Most of the time, staffing is so short that they are unable to perform swim tests, however, nor are they able to keep track of who has passed the test. When staff can perform swim tests, passing the test means being an expert, swim-team calib... read more
