About the Pool
Granite Recreation Corporation is a private pool and tennis club that offers a full size (25-meter) swimming pool with diving area; a children's wading pool; two Omni tennis courts; three hard service courts; a playground, basketball and picnic area; and a recreation building. Both the pools and recreation building are available to rent for private parties and meetings.

Granite is located in the Willow Oaks area of Richmond and is easily accessible from most parts of the city (see Map 34k PDF).
Swim and Dive: Granite swim and dive teams, the Granite Marlins, are members of the Richmond Metropolitan Aquatic League and are open to children of all ages and abilities. Swim and dive team membership is a fun way for children to make lasting friendships while receiving excellent swim and dive instruction. Swim and dive practices are held in the mornings and evenings.
