George Mason University Recreation Center comes close to offering everything students and faculty…read morecould possibly need. This is my third visit for the purpose of attending the Virginia High School State Swimming Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors depending on timing. There is a lot of close surface parking. The lot was overall pretty clean with minor debris. The building although dated to the early 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is for the GMU competition pool. It was fully renovated in the past 15 years. The primary pool and diving well is for George Mason Swim and Dive team practice and competition. However, faculty and students can use the pool. They also have a Masters swim group that uses the competition pool. The spectator area is extremely compact, but spans the entire length of the pool and well. A 25 yard training pool is also offered. A nice size tiled in hot tub, sauna and fitness room is on the same level. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition. What I did not see was indoor basketball courts. However, they do have multi purpose areas in the building. They also have offices and classrooms. The locker room area is somewhat small, but was pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. A sink was closed off and a non flushing urinal. Day passes are offered to visitors for $10. This covers the entire pool and fitness areas in the building. 3.5 rounding down.

The GMU Field House is a nice break from the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) where everyone else…read moregoes. I think it is safe to assume the Field House is where most of the people playing sports for GMU go. The Field house is open to all students and AFC members but this place is for serious athletes only! You won't see dudes with tons of hair gel and girls caked up in tons of make up here (unlike at the AFC.) You also won't see many machines here. There's a huge weight room, in and outdoor track, and four indoor multipurpose courts. There probably is a little more than what I've mentioned because I usually hit up the weight room with one of my friends then leave. If you end up going to a GMU athletic building you won't be disappointed!

There's a nice tennis court down the hill from the pool. There's even a snack bar selling lots of hot food (although someone I was with complained about the prices being a bit steep). The pool is huge so that a portion can stay open during swim meets. There's a waterslide and water basketball. There's a big dive well (and Cardinal Hill has a dive team). There's even a giant parking lot! There's really not much I can complain about at Cardinal Hill. Probably the only complaints would be the high price to join and that there are only 6 lanes during swim meets (making the meets take longer). But that's small potatoes compared to what Cardinal Hill has to offer.

It's still a great place, and I'll always love coming here!

VAC is a lovely community pool, centered right around the Marshall Road Community…read more We held a summer lease here before finding another more central pool but my bestie is a member so we visit often. This place is extremely family friendly and amenities includes a large shaded baby pool, playground, grills, picnic tables, and TONS of loungers and chairs. Communication is great (in fact, I still am on their email list) and I love how they have a rotating list of food trucks to visit. Parking is easy and there are lots of trees for shde.

We've been at the pool…read morefor 5 years and every year, I'm excited to see the people I haven't seen all winter and that I'll be seeing almost daily for the rest of the summer. I think the community is great! We also have an awesome swim team that has climbed up to Division 2 this summer, so if you're looking for a great swim coach where your kids can swim competitively, this pool is it. The swim team is also big enough that your kids will have plenty of friends to choose from. There's a nice cohort or about 5-6 girls and 5-6 boys in each age group for your kids to gel with and my kids look forward to playing with their swim friends after practice. If you're looking at VAC verses Dunn Loring, I personally prefer VAC because: -the pool is set back from the road so you don't hear street noise -the pool has trees to provide shade for the mornings and evenings - I've heard about friends who are Dunn Loring members getting awful sunburns -the fee to become a member at VAC is refundable when you end your membership, unlike Dunn Loring -we only have one pool but it has 8 lanes making for much faster swim meets. Swim meets at Dunn Loring seem to last forever.

What this place does well... - Cleanliness…read more- Amenities - Customer/member services - Covered pavillions - Ample grills - Well trained staff - Events There really is something for everyone here, just not all the time. What is doesn't...scheduling. Whether you like it or not, their swim team gets priority at this pool. The last few years the swim/dive program has become a major priority for this pool. Practices not only take up a chunk of real estate (4+ lanes & the diving area) for some of the busiest times at the pool (3-7ish). That's just for the practices, not to mention the swim meets... So when you get home from work/school/where ever, the sun's out & you just want to enjoy the pool. Don't hold your breath, it'll be like rush hour, on the metro, during a track delay.

They do however have ample grills so you can bring your own food and refreshments. There is a nice awning over the baby pool (added before the 2017 season) and a jungle gym for little tykes (best for under 5). My daughter loves it but I do have to make sure bigger kids aren't climbing all over it. People are friendly and there are a few social events per month - not as active as other clubs. It's generally pretty easy to park and find a table.

At the beginning of this slope is a four mini fountains for the little ones to play in. They have a few swimming lanes and a deeper end that ranges from 3-5ft. At the end of the pool is a small deep end ranging from 5-9ft and a diving board. The pool has plenty of lounging chairs and umbrellas for shade. They also offer life jackets for those who need them. Their changing rooms/restrooms are about as clean as a community pool bathroom can be, so don't expect the ritz and you won't be disappointed. Compared to other Reston Association pools this is the cleanest we've been to. They keep bugs, leaves and debris out. The lifeguards here are super friendly (especially since they deal with screaming kids 99% of the time). Some lifeguards will stick around between or after shifts just to swim with the kids. Safety is their number one priority, but they offer next level support and friendship, and for that we are grateful. Outside of the fenced in pool area is a fountain and shaded picnic area. The fountain is tons of fun for kids to run and splash around in. It runs on a 5-10 minute timer before it shuts off. Kids can turn the water back on by hitting the button on the stand to the right of the fountain. The picnic area offers some relief from the sun and a place for adults to sit while the kids are running around.
