Outdoor swimming is synonymous with summer! And our campers have been having a BLAST visiting both the Herndon Swim Club and Reston Association’s Uplands Pool!

To be honest, I knew that we (Miss Liz, Miss LJ, and our Summer Counselors) could successfully take the kids safely to the pool, but it has exceeded my expectations! Our kids have been AMAZING listeners, BRAVE while trying new things, and EXCITED about improving!

And KUDOS really go to our summer camp staff who are ENGAGING and INCREDIBLE with our campers!

Swimming is such a great, relatively (covid) safe activity to do this summer, so if you’re looking for a pool to join, here’s some information about the two pools that we swim at:

• Herndon Swim Club: This little pool is the BEST KEPT SECRET in Herndon! This little pool in the woods has memberships available to anyone, without any boundary limitations! In fact, after coaching their NVSL summer swim team, I purchased a membership for myself because it’s such a great pool, even though I’m also an RA member! They were actually the FIRST pool in the area to open last year during COVID. http://herndonswims.com

• Reston Association: Hopefully you know how amazing Reston’s 15 pools are if you live within the association, but did you know that ANYONE can purchase RA pool passes? Non Member passes are a great value for the number of pools there are in Reston! RA passes can be purchased here: https://web1.myvscloud.com/wbwsc/varestonhoawt.wsc/splash.html
