Swim RVA Operated Without License | Richmond News

A nine-year-old boy drowned at Swim RVA in July — a facility later revealed to have been operating illegally without a proper license, relying on a questionable exemption. Now shuttered and hit by a devastating fire that left the pool house charred and water green, the tragedy has sparked outrage and urgent questions about safety oversight. While Swim RVA claims it’s cooperating with state authorities to comply, the family remains silent — their quiet stands as a haunting reminder of the human cost. This story is still unfolding, but one thing’s clear: accountability must come next. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
