Are you ready to take a plunge? We're ready for you to join us!

The department operates seven outdoor pools and two indoor pools. Indoor pools are where Richmonders can swim year around.

We offer American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim lessons at all levels from beginning to advanced - child to adult. Lifeguard certification, first aid and CPR training are also available.

Pools have regular hours for open-lap, family, and adult swim sessions, if there are no swimming classes scheduled.

During the summer months each pool attracts an average of 200 - 250 patrons per day.

The Open Swim/Lap Swimming has general hours for the public.

For Group Swim prior paid reservations are required. Contact e-mail: Jerrod.Booker@Richmondgov.com
