About

Relaxed indoor facility featuring a leisure pool, competition pool and therapy pool, plus a waterpark for kids.

The 50-meter competition pool and diving well are generally maintained at approximately 79-80°F (26.1-26.7°C). The leisure pool, designed for recreational use, is typically kept warmer at around 84°F (28.9°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility receives mixed reviews, with a significant number of patrons expressing frustration over inconsistent and unreliable operating hours, often finding the pool closed or closing early despite advertised schedules or reservations. Several reviews highlight difficulties for the general public to use the pool, feeling unwelcome due to its primary focus on classes or Virginia Tech events. Staffing issues and reservations not being honored were also mentioned as negatives. Conversely, one positive review praised the facility as a clean, well-maintained, and affordable place for families.

NEVER open on a decent hour, and never when the website says that they will be. Youre really rolling the dice every time you try to visit. Dont bother making lane reservations, they wont honor them even if you do. Made a reservation from 6:30 to 7:30 for an hour, they closed before 40 minutes were up. The pool is mostly for classes, which is fine. Just don't bother opening it to the public if they arent welcome.

Inconsistent hours that on more than one occasion changed the day of. Criminally understaffed, employees obviously overworked and underpaid. Great facility if you are swimming for a college/school event, but if you are a member of the public wanting a swim then this place is not for you.

Great place to bring the family. Stopped in Christiansburg as a halfway point to DC. This was a great place for the kids to burn off energy for the day. Facility is really clean and constantly maintained. And prices were great!

Gee, it sure is nice for virginia tech to let us use their pool when its convenient for them. Might want to change the sign though, otherwise people may start thinking its a public pool.

Good luck swimming after you pay to. Lap pool is always closed when I go even if the callender says the pool is open.
