New Yorktown Aquatics Center in Arlington opening January 15, 2012

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass

If you are not attending open houses in North Arlington this Sunday, you might want to check out the grand opening of the new Yorktown High School Swimming Pool.   The Yorktown High School's brand new aquatic center will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at noon, and the pool will open immediately after for free swimming.   This has been a much anticipated opening as the current Yorktown pool has been ready for retirement for quite some time and living in the shadow of the new Washington Lee facilities on Quincy.  Yorktown pool is at 5200 Yorktown Boulevard, but the parking lot is on the 28th Street side.

If you are looking to buy or sell a house in the Yorktown High School district and want a plugged in local Realtor, give me a call.   

Yorktown PoolThe schedule of events for the day follows (and then Overlee Winter Swim takes place starting at 6:00)

Wish the HS in our area had pools when I was attending.  We had to schleep to Starlight (long gone) in Fairfax for winter swimming teams.
