Awesome facility! Awesome staff! Our children (4 & 7) have been enrolled in swim lessons for a few months now and they LOVE it! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Their safety practices are great for smaller swimmers. When we enrolled our boys they could not swim at all and now within just a few months they are swimming! I love that it’s never over crowded. The lifeguards are great. Very professional. The swim instructors are very knowledgeable and work well with children at every level. I highly recommend. If you... 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.

Poor management and lack of effective leadership. My son and I went to swim on Saturday June 14th (today) at 1:50pm and was told by a very passive "manager" that lacked major consideration that we can't attend because we need a reservation after 2pm. It was 1:50pm when we entered the building AND we have YMCA memberships that is PAID ON TIME every month. So you close the pool to members but open it to non members at 2? 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
Wonderful indoor pool to go with family. Daughter and I had a great time in the pool. Large locker rooms
My little one was so excited about the water slide and we showed up around 10:30 am to find out that the family/kids area is only open from 3-7 pm. This is nowhere on the website with the hours posted, as I checked before getting the family ready to go. When we got there the staff showed us the obscure place on the scheduling page (where you find the workout schedules) that “Open Swim” is the only time the family area is open.
