We are looking to start pay at $12.75/hr for entry level certified lifeguards and $13+/hr for more experienced lifeguards. We will have a limited number of lifeguard spots available this year, so please get your application in as soon as possible (even if you are not certified yet).

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!
With a forecast of temps in the upper 60s and a northeast wind 10-15-mph we will not open the pool today.
The next weekend is the last weekend the pool is open and with a forecast in the low 80s, pleas come out and enjoy one last time.
As the summer is creeping towards an end and with more VGCA Rec/Pool members using the pool this year, I wanted to remind everyone of the pool rules.
First and foremost, please enjoy yourself. Secondly, please abide by the Phase 3 restrictions and practice 10ft of social distancing while on the pool deck and in the pool. And finally, please read the pool rules and understand they are in place to provide a safe and enjoyable pool for our members to enjoy. Please click below for specific details.
If you have any questions a lifeguard can clarify or you can reach out to our pool manager at [email protected].
2020 VGCA Pool Rules can be found here: https://vgnn.org/community-pool/pool-rules/
Phase 3 restrictions can be found here: https://vgnn.org/changes-to-phase-3-in-hampton-roads-and-the-impact-on-the-pool/
We were able to open the pool only 2 hours later than normal thanks to the hard work of our lifeguards and my assistant pool manager, Connor.
Some folks have asked if we are going back to the pool reservations or swim lanes. The short answer is “No” BUT please continue to read below.
According to what I read (and I verified with our health inspector) we can continue to operate the pool as laid out in Phase 3 — which you can read more about here.
As you may have noticed, while I am volunteering as pool manager, I have been wearing a face covering as required by Phase 3. We would encourage others who visit the pool to wear a phase cover while on the pool deck BUT it is not required. Please do NOT wear it while in the pool.
What is required?
Also, any pool parties or events in the VGCA park must abide by the restriction of a maximum of 50 individuals in a social gathering.
If you have any questions, please me (Donnie Woodruff) or contact the VGCA Board at [email protected].
Be safe, abide by phase 3 requirements, and enjoy the pool!sd
The Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) swim team installed the water cannon this morning. VGCA’s intends to run it from 8pm (night before) until noon daily. We will move it out of the way for open swim. The idea is it will help with circulation and also cool the water temperatures which were 92-94 degrees last week.
Enjoy the refreshing water during these hot days!
It’s never too late to join the pool and we are running a special now….click here for details. Plus this year we plan to stay open on the weekends in September…so you are getting even more for you money.
I’ve had many folks come up to me recently asking, “How can I help?” Without a Grounds Committee Lead, I reached out to most of those folks who have expressed interest and we held a meeting. Some are relatively new Village Green neighbors and others have been here for a while. We had 10 volunteers attend the meeting. They are our VGCA Grounds Committee (but we still need a committee lead) that will begin to tackle projects around the VGCA properties.
They have tackled a few projects already!
They stepped up to mow the two VGCA lots near Plymouth Circle (under the power lines) for Steve Frame for the rest of this season. Thanks Max D and Josh J for helping out! The grass cutting by Steve and a few other neighbors goes unnoticed but is an important part for maintaining our property. THANK YOU to all those that cut VGCA grass.
The group also cut down two red tips and a small tree around the pool deck which was causing the concrete pool deck to raise in one section. It also helps minimize the amount of leaves on the pool deck. Thanks — Ryan G, Steve G, and Glenn M.
Some general park cleanup was done as well thanks to Peter G heading that up. I am sure others helped out — thanks for everything the group is doing!
Next, they plan to tackle some safety concerns around the park and tennis courts, so if you see more activity in those areas it’s more than likely a member of the Grounds Committee.
Neighbors living around the park and tennis courts area, don’t hesitate to say “hi”, introduce yourself, and “thank” them. Along with this, you can also verify they are a Grounds Committee member at the same time. 😉
