Also, if you haven’t heard of Jolyn Womens Bathing Suits…you have now.  These suits are faves for athletes with high thread counts and comfortable styles. Check out the pop-up stand during the dive meet – a percentage of proceeds are shared with the dive team!  A good cause and you get a new suit for this summer!

We expect the pool to open at noon after the dive meet. However, if the meet is running behind schedule, the pool will open for quiet swim only until the meet concludes. You can always call the pool at (703) 451-9503 before you head down to confirm if the meet has concluded or not.

Join our famous trivia hosts “The Smiths” for trivia fun. Form teams of up to 8 people and start studying your trivia. If you don’t have a team yet, come on down anyway! BYOB and snacks. The pool will be open until 9 pm for swimming during trivia night, so younger kids can swim while the adults and teens enjoy trivia. $5 per person fee to play (pre-pay online, or pay in-person at the game). 

Weekly exercise classes/events continue at Walden Glen!
