Pool rules and assistance from parents

/in , , /by

The pool rules can be found posted at the entrance of the pool deck as well on this webpage:  Pool Rules – Village Green: An Oyster Point Community (vgnn.org)

Parents — please help us keep our pool safe by reinforcing these rules and assisting the lifeguards where possible.

For children under the age of 10, please make sure they have a supervising adult or responsible teenager with them.

Lifeguards have been instructed to pay closer attention to this.  Thank you.

    • 90 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays thru July 3.
    • 100 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays for the entire season.
  • Concession stand will be open during breaks.
    • Sell pre-packaged foods, snacks, and drinks.
    • Staffed by young volunteers.
    • All proceeds will go to improvements made to the VGCA Clubhouse kitchen remodel.
  • HRA will be using our pool on Tues/Thurs from 1:30-3:30pm BUT will be limited to 30 HRA swimmers per hour.
  • Swim team will have meets against other pools on these evenings:

Another VGCA pool season comes to a close

/in , , /by

 

Another successful pool season is in the books!

Some of the key highlights:

  • Concessions sold nearly $1200 in food and drinks.  They turned a profit of $370.  The profit has gone to help fund the concrete pour on the pool deck (removing bricks) and rental of a bobcat skid steer to clear the VGCA tennis courts of debris.
  • 3 lifeguards called the VGCA Pool their “first job” and learned a lot.
  • We had over 100 VGCA Rec/Pool members for the 2nd year in a row.
  • We were open 7 days a week and had extended hours on Saturdays and holidays.
  • Countless hours of fun and many children improved their swimming skills or learned how to swim.

Thank you to all the VGCA Rec/Pool members, volunteers, and our lifeguards who made this a great season.  I am already looking forward to next season and the new group of lifeguards to call the pool their “first job”.

NOTE:  Pool covering is tentatively scheduled for Sept 19 at 615pm.  We will need about 12-15 strong teenagers/adults to give us a hand.

 

Pool hours for the next two weeks

  • Closed Friday Sept 2
  • 1-7pm Sat, Sun, Mon Sept 3-5

End of season pool hours

/in , , /by

Starting Monday, Aug 15th, we will be closing at 7pm each day.

With NN Public Schools starting back August 29, we will be closed during the week (Mon-Fri).  We are attempting to open 4-7pm Mon-Fri that week but it depends on weather and availability of lifeguards.  The same will go for the 2nd weekend of September (Sept 9-11).
