The Broyhill Crest pool offers summer fun and a friendly atmosphere

The Broyhill Crest Pool invites the community to jump in.

By Erin Donovan

The Broyhill Crest Recreation Club invites you to beat the heat with a summer full of swimming and socializing with our friendly, welcoming community. The BCRC pool is at 7212 Early St. in Annandale, just two blocks from Mason Crest Elementary School

BCRC hosts an annual Fourth of July parade and picnic with games for all ages.

Swim, play volleyball, basketball, ping pong, and shoot on the soccer and lacrosse goals on our beautiful, shaded grounds. Splash in the baby pool, frolic in the fountains, dig into our two sandboxes, and explore the children’s playgrounds. And of course, we have free Wi-Fi.

Get those kids off the couch this summer! Our active swim team helps kids become strong, healthy swimmers. Watch them experience the thrill of competition in a positive environment, while making friends of all ages.

The community enjoys weekly happy hours and dinners.

Connect with old friends and make new ones. We have float nights, where inflatable dragons and unicorns joust until the root beer flows. There are parties for toddlers, tweens, and teens, and parties just for adults, too. Share snacks and beverages at our Friday night happy hours with food trucks and join the community at a Sunday night dinner, when our members show off their culinary skills.

As a consideration to our current and new members, our rates are not going up this year. We are a volunteer-run nonprofit, keeping rates as low as we can, without hidden fees. Join by Saturday, May 5, and you will receive five free guest passes (a $25 value).
