UPDATE: The pool chemical company will be sending over a crew to fix the area this weekend. In the meantime, please be careful in this area.
The pool chemical supply company delivered chlorine on June 13 and turned around in this area. Please be careful when using this area as the ruts are quite deep.
We have reported the issue to our pool management company and requested for it to be fixed.
We were not scheduled to be open on June 14th since it was a school day. But since NNPS shortened the school year by a day and our pool management company agreed to cover the lifeguards, we are excited to announce we will be open on June 14th.
NOTE: There will be a Summer Pool Party (6-10pm) on June 14 being hosted by VGCA and is for all residents. Please RSVP by June 11th by going to https://vgnn.org/rsvp
Please note, you will need to be a VGCA Rec Member to participate. You can join here: https://vgnn.org/join
These are the pool hours between May 25th and June 15th. I will be up at the pool from 11am-1pm tomorrow to hand out the remaining pool passes. If you haven’t received yours yet or if you want to join VGCA as a Recreation Member, please stop by.
Also, guards will be checking wristbands at the gate this year. Please present your wristband, name, and address.
We will be open Tuesday thru Sunday beginning June 18th. Also, we will be sharing our pool with HRA campers Tuesdays and Thursday during the summer (1:30pm-3:30pm) as in years past.
Sign up now to enjoy the VGCA pool…it’s going to be a GREAT year!
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.
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.
