VGCA Pool info for the upcoming 2022 season

VGCA Pool Members:

A few things to consider for the upcoming season:

  • The hours will be very similar to last year.
    • Tuesday-Friday and Sunday 1pm-8pm
    • Saturday 11am-6pm
    • Monday — potentially (see next bullet point)
  • We will look to open on Mondays similar to last year if we hit membership goals listed below.
    • 90 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays thru July 18.
    • 100 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays for the entire season.
  • We will look to offer an adult lap swim 8-9pm during the summer.
  • Concessions will be improved from last year.
  • Pool rules will stay the same.
  • We will have an Out of School Pool Party.
  • HRA and CGBD plan to use our pool again this year.
    • We plan to receive revenue from rental agreements with Hampton Roads Academy (HRA) and the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) Swim Team.  This helps us keep the pool running and in great shape.
    • HRA campers will use the pool during open swim Tues/Thurs 130-330pm during the summer.
    • CGBD will use the pool Mon-Fri 5am-9am — the pool is closed to all other swimmers at this time.

The membership drive will be right around the corner…keep an eye out for additional information.

Thank you!

Pool Volunteer Needed

As VGCA continues to self-manage the pool, we are looking for an extra volunteer.  Specifically, I am looking for an adult that can help me with the following:

  • provide guidance and support to lifeguards.
  • answer questions for new and potential members.
  • help monitor pool chemicals and the pumps (very easy to do).

It is a great opportunity to give back to the neighborhood especially for an adult who is up at the pool on a regular basis.  There is very little effort involved but it would help me out during the week when I am working.

Email me at [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

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!

 

We have hit the 100 VGCA Recreation/Pool members goal and will be open for an additional 5 weeks dependent upon usage!  Thank you to all you have joined this year and will continue to join!  We will be open on Mondays from 1-6pm (slight adjustment for swim team) from July 12 through August 16.

This is the most pool members we have had since 2011 (oldest information on membership I have).

It is never too late to join as a VGCA or the VGCA Recreation/Pool member.  Please visit https://vgnn.org/join

Thank you!
