If your summer pool is looking for swimmers, I have had inquiries from a number of club swimmers looking for a summer team, I can't be the only one.
Pool Name: Pool Locations: Swim Team Size: NVSL Division: If not able to take swimmers this summer -- Pool Name and why. (so people will not waste time) |

| Vienna Aquatic Club is not taking any more swimmers this year because summer leases have been filled. We tried to get a lease there and were told they filled all of their leases. |

| OP, the time to look for pools is in March, not a week before they open. That said, you can usually find openings at places like Sleepy Hollow, Graham Road, etc. |

If you read the OP you would know they aren’t looking for a pool, they have been contacted by people looking to join a pool. It appears OP is starting a thread to collect information on pools that are still looking for swimmers in case it’s helpful for people still looking. |

you need to identify a geographic area- I seriously doubt that someone who lives in arlington is going to be trekking out to edsall park in springfield to join a division 17 nvsl swim team. That being said, in general, the pools in springfield have space- there is a glut of pools in that area- and the pools in arlington/ close in falls church/ mclean- do not.
there are a couple of closer in exceptions- I think McLean Swim and Tennis still has memberships available. |

| If you're in the Mt Vernon area, Hollin Hills usually has openings |

| I don't know all the details of team size because I just joined myself but Forest Hollow in Annandale, Division 12 does not have a waitlist for membership and you can still sign up for swim team, just did so for my son last week. Based on photos from last year looks like a good size team. |

| Old Keene Mill in Burke doesn't have a waitlist and they're Division 2. |

Sleepy hollow bath and Raquet and shra both have a wait list now. I've been the sleepy holly bath and Raquet wait list since probably last fall and it looks like we will get a spot next summer most likely so much shorter lists than most in the area but not for this summer. |

| Second the earlier post about geographic area. Almost all the Burke/Fairfax/Springfield area pools have membership openings and are taking new NVSL swimmers. Lakeview/Commonwealth/Kingsridge in Kings Park West in Fairfax; Longbranch, Ilda, Truro, Burke Station. But if you're looking in Vienna/McLean, many of those pools have waitlists and the list will be much smaller. |

| If you have swimmers looking in the Reston/Herndon area, I think someone posted about Fox Mill Woods having openings. I have also heard that Herndon Hammerheads is looking for more swimmers. |

This is laziness. Just Google pools around your house, look them up in NVSL website (for division placement), and start emailing/calling the pool's swim team reps.
If you can't even do that, how are you going to volunteer for your team? |

| I would look at Highland Park in Alexandria which will be Division 11 this year. Swim team was maybe 70 kids last year. Our website says there is a waitlist until 2024, but I think there has been movement. I know several families whose kids have aged out and cancelled. It is a nice community. |

I actually quite like this thread. People helping people. Makes it way easier to find a vacancy for a team. Why do you care if other people are perfectly happy to post what they know? |

+1 many/most of the websites are not updated regularly too so this is harder than what pp is saying |
