Swim team registration on Sat, May 11 7:30am-9am

/in , , /by

The swim team is offering an early bird discount on registration for the summer season. Come up to the VG Swim Team Fundraising and Registration table in front of the pool on Saturday, May 11 7:30am-9:00am.

ATTENTION parents of young and/or new children to the neighborhood — this a great program and Coach Amy is the BEST! This is instructional but also teaches team spirit and personal growth. As parents of two young boys that learned to swim on the team, we LOVE IT! Stop by and talk to one of the swim parents.

Practices start the week of Memorial Day!

This is the spirit of Village Green…

/in , , /by

At 4pm today, Debi Henderson put me in touch with her daughter, Leanne, who works with Great Wolf Lodge. They recently replaced their pool furniture and had the “old” (better shape than our old stuff) furniture slated to be trashed. It was first come first serve.

Debi and Pat Henderson, Ken Charbonneua, Danny Jones, Amy Nuttal, and Connor and Donnie Woodruff jumped into action and less that 3 hours later we had a bunch of pool furniture to help make this a great pool season. Gary Wilson loaned Donnie his truck so we had a convoy of 5 trucks that made the hike up to Great Wolf Lodge. Leanne who is 8+ months pregnant even gave us a hand.

This is the amazing spirit we have in Village Green!

This saved us over $1500 (easily) as it was completely free except for the time and effort (and gas) that our neighbors provided. The amazing thing…is that Connor and Donnie are the only ones of the convoy that use the pool. Others are pool members but just don’t use it.

Help support our neighborhood and join VGCA and while you are at it join the pool by choosing VGCA Rec Membership. https://vgnn.org/join

THANK YOU to all that helped tonight!

Removable steps to be added to the VGCA pool this year…

/in , , /by

We have had several requests to add steps to the pool over the past few years. We have ordered a set like these pictured and will be adding them before Memorial Day. We went removable steps that were cost effective since we host swim meets and our swim team uses the pool quite regularly.

HRA pool usage this summer

/in , , /by

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.

New grill for 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!

Pool filters get a make-over for 2019!

/in , , /by

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.)

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!
