Below freezing temperatures this time of year might keep you from exercising outdoors but you can still get a good workout by swimming at one of Arlington’s three indoor swimming pools, located at the three public high schools. Washington-Liberty’s natatorium just opened in 2009 and features a 25 meter x 25 yard pool with a movable bulkhead, two 1m springboards, a separate instructional pool, a wet classroom and a spectator area.  The other two pools are six lane 25 yard pools with a separate instructional tank.   The pools open for community swim as early as 5:30 a.m. and stay open some days to 8:30 at Wakefield and Yorktown and 9:30 at Washington-Liberty.   There are designated lap lanes, open swim areas, a tank pool for children and they offer swimming and aqua fitness classes.   Daily passes are available or you can purchase multi-use passes or memberships.  Free swim times for Arlington Seniors and Arlington Children and Youth are also available each week.  Check the Arlington Public Schools Aquatics website for more information and links to community swim schedules, lane and tank availability, class descriptions, and fees.

The pools are located at:

  • Wakefield High School 4901 S Chesterfield Rd, Arlington, VA 22206, 703-578-3063
  • Washington-Liberty High School  1300 N. Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22201, 703-228-6262
  • Yorktown High School  5201 N. 28th Street, Arlington, VA 22207, 703-536-9739

They are currently offering gift cards for memberships so if there is an avid swimmer on your gift list you might want to check it out.
