Aquatics Center Closed for Major Upgrades
Monday, February 17 - Sunday, April 12, 2025
The JCC Aquatics Center will be undergoing a major upgrade this winter!
To enhance your experience, we’re upgrading our pool with brand-new epoxy decking and a fresh coat of paint, transforming the space into a sleek, vibrant, and more modern environment. While our Aquatics Center is closed for these improvements, we’re pleased to offer an alternative swimming option at the University of Richmond Robins Center Natatorium for JCC members.
Why We’re Upgrading to Epoxy Decking
Durability & Longevity
Epoxy decking is known for its exceptional durability. Unlike traditional concrete or other materials, epoxy is highly resistant to damage from the elements, pool chemicals, and heavy foot traffic. This means a longer-lasting surface that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, saving time and money on future repairs.
Safety First
One of the standout features of epoxy pool decking is its slip-resistant surface. The textured finish reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet conditions, making it a safer choice for swimmers, families, and anyone using the deck area.
Easy Maintenance
Epoxy is incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Its smooth, non-porous surface prevents the absorption of dirt, oils, and pool chemicals.
Aesthetic Appeal
Epoxy decking offers a modern, sleek look that’s both visually appealing and functional, creating a more inviting and attractive space for everyone.
Alternative Swimming Option: University of Richmond Robins Center Natatorium
While our Aquatics Center undergoes this transformation, we are pleased to offer JCC members complimentary access to the Robins Center Natatorium at the University of Richmond. This state-of-the-art facility includes a six-lane, 25-yard swimming pool with both a low and high dive and is just a short drive away and offers the perfect opportunity to maintain your swim routine while we work on enhancing your JCC pool experience.
