That's great to enjoy swimming in the MCV swimming pool every free afternoon:)
Since last week, some friends and I keep swimming if you have the free afternoon. It is free for VCU students and you can also be free to borrow a lock to keep your clothes safe.The pool is not big but the water is high quality. And the deepest place in the pool is just 5 feet. Quite safe for me as I am still unfamiliar with swimming.
The equipment in the pool is quite good. Last time, i found there was a swimsuit water extractor machine to help you make the suit a bit dry to carry.
If you wanna go there, take No. 84 school bus, whose termination is just before the library. Pay attention, the number is 84.
