Can someone recommend an outdoor pool in or near Vienna? We are moving there end of August and would like to take our kids swimming outside as soon as we arrive so we can get them active and enjoy the rest of summer.

Can anyone suggest a public outdoor pool?

Thanks so much!

Upton Hill Regional Park in Arlington is relatively close by.

I can't think off the top of my head of the outdoor pools in that area, but you may find out what some of them are as some pools have offered an August rental only program in the past since so many families head out of town after the swim team season is over. Just looked at the NVSL website, and you might want to check this, The NVSL - League Announcements. Be aware, outdoor pools in this area close down Labor Day, but then check out the county rec centers. For you, the closest may be Oakmar.

It can be very hard to get a pool membership. I suggest getting on multiple wait lists ASAP and go with the one you get first (although keep your spot on the other wait lists). We've been on the Cardinal Hill wait list for over 3 years.

LItoVA, check these pools in Vienna... but they are not cheap, often sold out, and may also require a membership:

Vienna swimming pool, Vienna Aquatic Club Vienna, VA Home
Vienna Woods - Home

A better way could be a water park? There is one in Reston (not in Vienna but close) and also one in Manassas.

Water Mine Family Swimmin' Hole*- Fairfax County, Virginia
SplashDown park - Find Us

There is Atlantis Waterpark in Centreville. It's quite new, and I've heard good reviews from friends although I've never visited myself. The admission fee is reasonable ($8 for adults).

You probably will not be able to get an August membership to any of the local pools in Vienna, they go to those at the top of the waitlist.

Again as suggested get on the waiting list ASAP, we waited 5 yrs for our membership to Cardinal Hills.
The rec centers Oakmar and Spring Hill both have pools, not out door but still a pool.

The Watermine in Reston is also a nice option, can get crowded ,but maybe not as much at the end of the summer, I also think it is kind of expensive.

Most outdoor pools close in September. Look at joining Sport and Health in Tysons. Have outdoor and indoor pool.
