[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the process of moving to Virginia - this will be our first time living in Virginia or the USA, so some things that may be very common seem quite foreign to me, so I apologize if any of this is obvious.

How exactly do swimming clubs work? A colleague recommended we join one since very few people have home pools, but the one near our house - Little Hunting Park - seems to have a very long wait time (3-4 years according to the website). Does anyone have experience with this club - is that number mostly accurate or partially marketing? Or is that the wait to become a full member but they may make you a trial member beforehand? I am used to public pools where anyone can go to swim, so the idea that I may need to be on a waitlist for 4 years and may not even live here that long has me very confused. Aren't there a lot of military in the area who get transferred to different places faster than that, so by the time they are off the waitlist they have already moved?

Also, how much does a place like Little Hunting Park cost? I can't find any information on the website - is it 100s of dollars or 1000s of dollars?[/quote]

If you look in Burke/Fairfax Station area, you will finding excellent summer pool communities with good swim teams and no waitlist. (I could not tell whether you are definitely landing near LHP or not.)[/quote]

Agree with this - also Springfield and Annandale outside the Beltway.[/quote]

It can be kind of like shopping for a car. See which one can make the best deal for you and your family. [/quote]
