So glad we found this place, it was a great rainy day activity. The staff was super friendly, the facility was very nice, and the water was warm. Will definitely be going back.

As a 2nd grade teacher in Henrico County, I have taken my 2nd graders here for the last 5 years for their Learn2Swim program with HCPS. The swim instructors are wonderful with our kids. The lifeguards and other staff are very patient with us, too. Pool area and family locker room are always clean.

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.👍🏽
