A gym with a pool can simplify your routine considerably. One membership can cover strength training, cardio and swimming instead of sending you to three different places.
Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center
Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center in Arlington is the standout public option for swimmers. Arlington County describes it as home to the county's only 50-meter pool, along with fitness facilities and aquatics programming.
George Mason University Aquatic & Fitness Center
Fairfax residents also have the George Mason University Aquatic and Fitness Center to consider. The facility includes a 25-yard-by-50-meter Olympic-size pool, recreational pool, whirlpool and sauna, along with cardio and strength equipment.
Fairfax County Rec Centers
Fairfax County operates nine recreation centers with combinations of pools, fitness centers, courts, classes and other amenities. Membership can provide access across the system, although amenities vary by location.
Audrey Moore Rec Center
Audrey Moore Rec Center is another major option near Fairfax, with aquatic facilities, fitness centers, indoor courts and fitness programming.
For swimmers, the pool is the feature. For everyone else, the bigger advantage is having more ways to use one membership.
