VGCA Pool will be used by CGBD for lap swim/practice Mon-Sat 5:30am-10am

June 12, 2020/in Pool, Post, Uncategorized, Village Green /by VGCA Pool Manager

With COVID-19 restrictions, many indoor pools remain closed which has left the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) with few pools to practice and perform lap swim in. The VGCA Board was contacted by the CGBD and has agreed to rent pool time to the them. They will be using our pool starting on June 15 between 5:30am and 10am Monday thru Saturday. This is not during our normal operating hours and Coach Amy has agreed to move the Village Green Swim Team Boot Camp to later in the morning (10am-1230pm). This will help offset some of the costs for chemicals this pool season. Traffic and noise will be kept to a minimum as they are well aware this is a residential area. We anticipate this agreement to last through the summer.

In-person membership drive on Tues, June 16 @ 5-630pm

Our VGCA and VGCA Rec membership numbers are down considerably this year. To help increase that, we will be holding a membership drive in front of the VGCA Park on Tuesday, June 16 @ 5-630pm.

To help with social distancing, we highly recommend filling out the form and paying online. If you would rather not be charged the PayPal fees, then please have your form pre-filled and provide your check/cash to us at the table.

Please ensure 6ft of social distancing if there is a line.

If you plan on using the pool next week, please send your membership info in as soon as possible as we anticipate opening Wednesday, June 17 (more coming on that this evening).
