McLean Hamlet has gone from decades of a looooong waitlist to having membership openings last I heard. |
You would be surprised. Forest Hollow has members that live in DC because of no pools. South Arlingtonians don't have pools and belong to Edsall, Lincolnia Park and some in Springfield. |
NOT a fan of the culture with the Hammerheads. |
Pool Name: Broyhill Crest
Pool Locations: Annandale/Falls Church Border Swim Team Size: 60ish NVSL Division Division 16 Great pool to join if you want to swim the A meets! The people are really nice. |
Pleasant Valley in Chantilly is a pool you can just buy a summer membership for. |
Not a member, but we know friends who got a membership right then and there at Holmes Run Acres in Alexandria last year.
Don't discount pools in the Colonial league either. I don't know how it works, but apparently Knights of Columbus in Arlington has openings every year. I'm sure there are others. |
+1 this isn't an easy task since most pools have waitlists so it can take a long time to find one. It makes sense to gather this info here! I actually found Forest Hollow as one to look at without a potential waitlist from an older DCUM post and was very grateful! |
People jump at the opportunity to criticize anything here. Check how many posters wrote something like this “What a stupid post. You should have been looking in March. Without geographic area, this post is garbage. But anyway, here are pools with openings because even though I regard your question as asinine, I am VERY knowledgeable and I can’t resist contributing helpful information to this obviously idiotic post.” |
Yes. Also look at Fort Myer & Chinquapin in the CSL. |
Sideburn Run in Fairfax (near Robinson SS) has availability. Really nice large pool deck with gazebo for parties. Swim team is in a re-building phase but does lots of fun activities. Preschoolers can do Shark Pups/Baby Sharks, which is great for learning to swim. Dive team is consistently quite good. |
Do you mean Lee Graham? Pool membership wait list is about 2 years. Woodley is an option. OP it would help to say the general area as NVSL covers a very large area and most people want a pool closes to home |
+1 I'm sure the swim team reps at various pools would appreciate fewer emails to answer as well (especially if they are not taking new swimmers.) |
Pool Name: Rolling Valley Pool Locations: West Springfield Swim Team Size: 100ish NVSL Division: 14 https://rvstc.org/ https://www.gomotionapp.com/team/recnvrvd/page/home |
I posted the other day, Fox Mill Woods has availability. This is our fifth summer there and we love it!
Pool Name: Fox Mill Woods Swim and Tennis Pool Locations: Reston (close to Herndon, Vienna, Oakton) Swim Team Size: usually 100-120 but looking smaller this year (ie lots of chances to swim) NVSL Division: 11 https://www.fmwst.com Fmwreps@gmail.com |
Find a team with about 100 kids if you want good chances to swim A meets. Plus the team isn’t so monstrous. |
