[quote=Anonymous]We are members of Hollin Meadows.  The pool is going to undergo a major renovation starting in the fall of '23.  There is an assessment which all current members must pay and I think new members will have to pay a portion.  Once complete, the new renovations will probably attract some new families.  We have alot of shade.  Right now, our pool is very shallow, which is great for toddlers and adults (I can walk across the pool in the lanes, which is great exercise.)  When the pool is rebuilt, they are going to make it deeper, which is better for the swim team.  We are also open from 9:00am - 9:00pm on the weekends and have been open at 9:00am in August during the week.  I believe most of the other pools don't open until 11:00am, even on the weekends.

My kids are members of the swim team so I've been to all the pools along the corridor, except Hollin Hills.  Stratford Landing has a gorgeous new bath house, a sloped entry into the pool and really nice eating area.  Mount Vernon Park has alot of land and two pools but I'm not crazy about the long walk from the parking lot to the pool.  Also, their bath house needs renovating.  Waynewood also has two pools and has a nice bathhouse.  They don't have much shade.  Riverside Gardens has a smaller pool (my kids complain about the size of their lanes) but I hear they are extremely social - "the party pool."  Little Hunting Park recently renovated their bathhouse (they had a fire.)  It is really nice and they have a lot of land.  They also have a concession stand, which can be a good or bad thing.

Another option is Mansion House, which is in Mount Vernon.  It has a nice bathhouse and indoor lounge area.  I'm pretty sure they have memberships because I see signs advertising the pool all over the MV area.  [/quote]
