Long Bridge Aquatics and Fitness Center Excursion

Meet up with your OSG peers for a morning of swim or gym! 

Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center is a first-class aquatics and fitness facility for all ages and every level of physical fitness. Train in our 50M pool, enjoy our lazy river, laugh down our slide. In addition to the aquatic elements, the center has an 8,000-sq. ft. fitness center with an open fitness area for cardio and weight training. For this event you are more than welcome to use the pool, but we cannot garuntee that a staff member will be with them, as staff will most likely be outside with the rest of the group. If you plan to use the pool please plan to do so at 10am and then join the group for their walk over to crystal city for lunch. 

To prepare: Please review the following information carefully.

Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Accommodation Request."

Disclaimer: Please Note during community outings, participants may choose as a group—or individually—to stop at a café, restaurant, or other business for a snack or beverage. These stops are informal, optional, and decided in the moment based on the group’s interests. Purchasing food or drinks is never required, and OSG staff cannot predict or control when or where these stops may occur. Participants with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or other related needs should plan accordingly and bring any necessary snacks, medications, or supports.
