Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center

The facility is new and houses one of the only Olympic-size pools in the area. (Most of the time, the pool is configured at 25 yards.) there’s also an entirely separate pool and a hot tub. The staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is plentiful and includes (8?) EV chargers. The gym is spacious and well-equipped. My only complaint: The locker rooms are a little dirty

A beautiful new facility. I’m happy to look at the spreadsheet to make sure lanes are available and plan ahead for the Wednesday cleaning of the spa but I cannot deal with the facilities not being cleaned regularly. I went on Friday 1/31 in the middle of the morning and was disgusted by the litany of flies in the locker rooms and by the pool showers. The spa had garbage all around the rim and the floors were covered in green mold. Like what is going on???

This is the best public pool and fitness facility in the Arlington-Alexandria area. It has a 50m pool that is usually cordoned into about 15 25m lanes. Check the website for lane openings, as some times of the day only 6 or so are open to the public. Great time to go is before 4pm. Second pool is good for families and those wanting warmer water. It has much more limited hours. Locker rooms are clean and have shampoo/conditioner. They offer a family locker room, too. Fitness area has everything you could ever need and a limited class schedule (extra fee). Great views on the surrounding area and/or pool. Usually very few people there. There are also community rooms for rent (?) that seem under utilized. Staff is very friendly and professional.

Do and I mean every bit of NOT come to this pool. The life guard “Will” , has horrible people skills. They clearly do not communicate because someone told us one thing and he told us something is. Extremely RUDE. Talked with his back towards me. Asked him to speak up and he still turned his back. Mind you there is music playing. He put his hands in my face and even stared at me as if he was going to do something to me when I asked for a manager. He then grabbed a manager by the name of “Janelle” who was just as rude. We were told as long as you are doing laps you can swim in any lane other than 1. My 13 year old brother was doing laps . He came up for air once or twice and she made him move and out somebody else in that lane (who also was taking breaks). When I tried to explain it and explain how rude Will was, she basically said she didn’t care shrugged her shoulders and walked off. My niece lost her phone the guy at the front was helpful. But , then Janelle came out there. I was asking him for a complaint number and explained to him what happened. She Ridley brush a card to me. I told her she was really rude and went back and forth with me about it. She didn’t car. Called Mr. Harris never heard anything back. I WILL NEVER go here again and have to spend my money to be treated any kind of way . BIG NO!!

This place IS beautiful. It IS amazing. What sucks is that now, likely to make money, they have leased out 75 percent of the pool to swim teams and so, if you’re a tax paying citizen who wants to use the pool, you’re screwed. It’s infuriating! And nobody at the facility seems to care. I only come when the sport and health pool is out of service. And I regret it every time .
