AFC Elevator Repair begins March 18

Attention Members & Guests,

Beginning Monday, March 18th, 2024 the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) elevator will be out of service for repairs. These repairs will last at minimum thirty (30) days.

While the elevator is out of service, the accessible parking spots in the front of the AFC will only provide accessible entrance to the main floor (Top level of the AFC).

How to Access the lower half of the AFC during this repair time:

In order to access the lower half of the AFC, which includes the pool, you will need to park in accessible parking spots located around the back in the Potomac Heights Parking Lot on Presidents Park Drive.
From there you will be able to enter the lower level of the AFC via door B17.
1. This door is not automated and a staff member will need to be present to check in all patrons entering through B17.
Please ask the front desk staff for assistance when locating the parking lot and entering the lower-level entrance when you first arrive.

With any questions, concerns, or assistance please contact the front desk at (703)993-3939.
