Late season pool hours begin Aug 17
Here are the pool hours beginning Aug 17 and running through Labor Day.
Sun, Aug 1 — Pool Closed Due to Weather
Due to the rain and storms forecasted for today (Aug 1), the pool is closed.
Thank you.
Parents/grandparents: Important pool info
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.
Great job…5 additional weeks of the pool being open on Mondays!

- Sunday: 9am-12pm
- Tues-Fri: 8pm-9pm (during lap swim)
This offering is based on someone organizing it and all participants must be VGCA Recreation (Pool) Members.
So, if you are interested in doing water aerobics and/or help organizing this please email me at [email protected] or txt me at 757-768-9326.
Adult lap swim 8-9pm begins June 22
New for this year we are offering adult lap swim from 8-9pm Tuesdays through Friday. This will begin on June 22. Swimmers will need to have a swim buddy in order to use the pool since this VGCA will not be staffing lifeguards during this time. No one under the age of 18 is allowed in the pool area during this time.
I ask that members be considerate and flexible with me as this is something new and we will be making adjustments to the process as I learn more. For now, please send me a text (757-768-9326) or message me on Facebook to let me know that you have a swim buddy and what day(s) you will be using it for the upcoming week. There will be no walk-ups at this point.
Requirements are as follows:
- Notify Donnie via txt 757-768-9326 or Facebook messenger on the day(s) you plan to use it.
- Must have a swim buddy who will be there the entire time with you.
- Must be a VGCA Recreation/Pool member.
- Must be 18yrs or older.
- No children allowed on deck.
- Diving board usage and diving from the side is prohibited.
- Lap swim or exercising in your lane is only activity that is acceptable during this period.
- No lifeguard on duty, so it will be swim at your own risk.
