As in years past, Hampton Roads Academy will be using our pool on Tuesdays and Thursday from June 18 through August 15 between 1:30pm and 3:30pm. We will have an extra lifeguard on staff during those two hours and have capped the number of campers to 50 swimmers this year. The funds made from this agreement help pay for the operation of the pool.
Connor helped me put together the new grill for the pool. We are looking forward to using it for the School’s Out Pool Party in June!
When swimming in our crystal clear pool later this summer its because of to the time/effort put in by Justin Gradwell and Connor Woodruff. They assisted in getting them cleaned out this weekend. Tell them thanks when you see them this Spring/Summer!
We have to remove 900lbs of sand from each filter, replace 8 laterals per filter, and replace O-rings and gaskets on them as well. This will ensure that our filtration system is running optimally. This is done every 4-7 years and is the first time it’s been done on my watch. (Thanks to those who have maintained it in the past…definitely not an easy task.)
Based on feedback we have received the past two years, the VGCA Board has approved the following hours for this year. The only change is on Saturdays where we will be open 11am to 6pm the 1st half of the season. The 2nd half of the season we will be open on Saturdays from 12pm until 6pm.

The Village Green Swim Team sold nearly 100 boxes of donuts this past Saturday and Sunday. (They might have eaten a few too.) With your help, they proudly and enthusiastically raised nearly $400 which will be used to buy the team VG swim caps and VG drawstring bags.
The team is looking forward to a great season. If you know a child (4-18 yrs old) who wants to swim send them to https://vgnn.org/swim for additional info.
THANK YOU for your support this past weekend!
