Consider the schedule shown on the pool's official Web page (link above) as a guideline, not cast in concrete; some activities, e.g., lap swimming, may be available more often (or less) than is shown on the site. Smart people call ahead…
Facility Reviews
This is a good pool. It tends to get crowded during the evening with a lot of serious lap swimmers. Parking is tricky, but doable. The nearest Metro is DuPont Circle (north exit) and a hike from there.
In late 2008 the locker rooms were redone and cleaned up. The water is usually warmer than DC’s other pools.
In July 2011, the water seemed cooler than at Rumsey Aquatic Center, which I also visited.
I found this pool clean and a bit on the warm side (but not uncomfortably so). Between 3 and 4 PM on a Tuesday, I had a lane to myself. The schedule indicated open swim, but five of the six lanes were reserved for lap swimming. The staff is very friendly and let me in for free; it had been so long since someone came for a single-day swim that the manager couldn't remember how to take payment. Kickboards and pull buoys are available poolside. [May, 2013]
