All ages welcome! See pool age policy below for more information. Reservations can only be made for one hour at a time and must be made in advance by calling the Y’s front desk: 540-943-9622.

Pool Age Policy

Children 5 and under must have an adult in the pool with them at all times.
Children 6-12 must be accompanied by an adult in the pool area.
Children 13-15 must have an adult in the building, but the adult does not have to be in the pool area.
Children ages 15+ may use the facility unsupervised upon successful completion of the swim test.

All children under the age of 18 must successfully pass the Swim Test to be allowed into the deep end of the pool.

The swim test is a 25 yard swim (1 length of the pool). Children will swim 1/2 length of the pool demonstrating front crawl/freestyle and the ability to lift their head up and take a break (side breathing or up and down breathing).

Children will then be asked to roll onto their back and swim 1/2 length of the pool demonstrating elementary backstroke or back crawl/backstroke to the deep end.

When the child has reached the deep end wall, children must then demonstrate the ability to tread water unassisted for 30 seconds.

Upon successful completion, the lifeguard will record the child’s names and DOB, as well as the completion date, in the swim log and a note will be added to child’s membership at the front desk.

Inclement Weather Policy

For thunder and lightning, the lifeguard on duty will blow their whistle to clear the pool and deck space. The pool will be closed for 30 mins. The timer will reset every time thunder is heard or lightning is seen.
