About the provider
Founded in 1987, NOVA of Virginia Aquatics states that it works to promote swimming with access for everyone in the community, regardless of socioeconomic, mental, or physical challenges. It also partners with Henrico County Public Schools to teach second graders annually and works with the Central Virginia Autism Society, Sportable Adaptive Sports, Henrico Police Athletic League, The Steward School’s LEAP Program, Reel ’Em In, Special Olympics, Swim Across America, and Henrico Fire and Rescue.
Once enrolled in weekday lessons, swimmers remain in their class each month unless a family submits a drop request according to the cancellation policy. Weekend lessons are not automatic from one session to the next and families must register for each session separately. No lessons November 25-26 and January 18. Summer sessions require separate registration for each session.
