SWIM RVA Has Free Family Swim Time & More

November 28, 2017 By SwimRVA

Located in Chesterfield County, SwimRVA serves the Greater Richmond area as a catalyst for regional aquatics and community-wide focus on water safety, health & fitness, sports tourism and competitive swimming.  We offer swimming lessons, water aerobics, aqua running, water polo, CPR & lifeguard certification courses, masters swimming, warm water therapy pool, land fitness classes, and youth triathlon training.

Instructional Pool:

SwimRVA has a comfortable instructional pool that is a multi-purpose, 6 lane swimming pool.  It stays at a comfy 84 degrees and is used for water fitness, swimming lessons, warm-up/warm-down, and family free swim!

Warm Water Therapy Pool

Welcome to our warm water therapy oasis!  This high tech therapy pool has two under water treadmills, massage valves and is handicap accessible.

Autism Swims

Drowning is the #1 cause of death in children with autism.  The National Autism Society reports that 90% of all deaths in children with autism are due to drowning.  Children with autism react to their senses and are driven by impulse.  Water is a huge sensory stimulation which draws this attention.  That is why it is imperative that children with autism get the proper swim instruction.

SwimRVA Autism Swims is a program, designed specifically for children with autism, and adds to our goal of creating an inclusive aquatics community in Richmond, VA.  All of our instructors have been trained and educated on children with ASD.

AWESOME testimonial below:

Emily struggles everyday to fit in with her classmates. She started taking lessons in the SwimRVA Autism Swims program the week before her school, Jacobs Road Elementary, started coming for their ‪#‎LearntoSwim‬program. On the first day of LTS, Emily was ‪#‎confident‬ enough to get in the pool with her peers and was successful in a group setting. The following week, Emily passed Station 1. Mom said if it weren’t for the‪#‎SwimRVAAutismSwims‬ program, which Emily is excited to attend each week, she wouldn’t have been successful in the Learn to Swim program. When I asked Emily what her favorite day of the week was, she said, “Swimming Day.” Which now because of our Learn to Swim program, happens twice for this exceptional young lady.

Payment information:

Payment for the SwimRVA Swim School is set up as an auto debit on the 1st of each month.  Participants can elect to start anytime during the month.  The price is prorated for the remainder of the current month and the participant will be billed a full month on the first of the following month of registration.
