Aquatic activities improve posture, flexibility, muscular endurance, strength and balance, reduce stress, provide social interaction, develop healthy lifestyles and are fun. 

We encourage you to enjoy the benefits of aquatic activities. Whether you want to swim laps, participate in an aquasize or aerobics class, work out in the gym or simply cool off and relax, Richmond’s aquatic facilities have it all for you.

Richmond Aquatic Services operates four facilities; two of which are indoor facilities operating year round, and two are outdoor seasonal pools.
