We had quite a few volunteers staff the VGCA Concessions Stand this summer during pool hours. Thank you to all those young workers (ranging in age from 6-14) that helped make it a success!
Their goal was to raise money for our own water cannon to help keep the pool cool during July/August — approximately $200. In total, they raised $668.05 — $200 of it went to purchase the pump and wiring for the VGCA Water Cannon. The remaining $468.05 will be donated to the VG Swim Team which most of the volunteers swim for.
Keep this in mind for your young volunteers for next season as I am sure we will be looking for volunteers and a parent or two to help organize and oversee it.
Thank you to everyone that purchased from these young volunteers and a SPECIAL BIG THANK YOU to those young VGCA volunteers that staffed it. What a great year for our youth and the pool!

Parents and grandparents: I am asking that each of you have a discussion with your your swimmers about this post. I plan to post it at the pool too.
Please remind your children (teenagers too) that the pool is to be enjoyable and fun but must be done safely. All pool patrons should be respected. Verbal and physical activities that are taking away from safe and enjoyable time at the pool is prohibited (not allowed). Please remind them to have fun but to be SAFE and RESPECTFUL to everyone.
The game of “bulldog” will be prohibited during swim practice as well as during open swim. The game has changed a bit and has lead to some issues. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to better understand my decision on this. I am often up at the pool.
Alternatively, the lifeguards will allow “sharks and minnows” which is essentially tag in the water. This should be safer for all that are playing. If that morphs into what I (or the lifeguards) perceive to be unsafe, we will pull that too.
We want to continue to have our pool patrons enjoy the pool but BE SAFE.
Lifeguards have been informed to handle accordingly.
Let’s keep the fun meter high!
Thank you.
