Blue Ridge Swim Club, Historic swimming pool in Ivy, United States
The Blue Ridge Swim Club features a concrete pool measuring 100 yards long and 10 yards wide, with depths ranging from 30 inches to 10 feet.
Built in 1913 as part of a boys' camp, the swimming facility stands among the earliest outdoor recreational establishments still operating in Virginia.
The swimming club maintains a natural setting with gravity-fed water from Ivy Brook, representing early 20th-century recreational architecture in Albemarle County.
Members can access the pool during summer months from June through August, with individual memberships at $225 and family packages at $395.
The water source comes directly from underground springs, requiring minimal chlorine treatment while maintaining higher purity than local drinking supplies.
