HRA campers (capped at 20 swimmers per hour) will be here on Tuesday and Thursday 1:30-3:30pm.

8 days of progress with the pool

Many volunteers have been involved to get the pool ready for this season.  Here is a short clip of the progress that has been made in the past 8 days!

Thank you to all that have helped and if you haven’t joined pool yet, please consider doing so.  It helps support our most rewarding asset.

A few positive changes for the 2021 pool season…

 

We will be self managing again this year, so we will have the freedom to make some of the changes to our pool season.  We are looking to do the following:

  • Open at 11am on Saturdays.
  • Adult lap swim from 8-9pm during week nights.
  • Concession stand will be open during breaks.
    • Sell pre-packaged foods, snacks, and drinks.
    • Staffed by young volunteers.
    • All proceeds will go to the swim team for fundraising.
  • HRA will be using our pool on Tues/Thurs from 1:30-3:30pm BUT will be limited to 20 HRA swimmers per hour.
  • Swim team will have meets against other pools BUT they are slated to be virtual at this point which means they we only have our team swimming at our pool.

Please note:  we will monitor usage of the early Saturday hours, adult lap swim, and concession stand usage and adjust accordingly as the summer progresses.

We look forward to having a successful season and we hope you will support our most important asset and become a pool member this season!  Join by April 30th to get 5 free one day passes for the pool.

Be part of a great team in our amazing community!

 

Currently, the Village Green Patriots swim team is taking registrations for 4-18 year olds.  We welcome all skill levels!  This is a great way for children to enjoy the water even more, have special swim team “fun practices”, become a team, meet new friends, and learn and improve your child’s swimming.  If you have any questions please fee free to email [email protected] and/or [email protected].

Thank you and we look forward to seeing many of you at the pool this summer!

Pool season will be here before you know it…

Happy New Year!  After our first snowfall of the year and a second one possibly coming on Sunday, I figured I would remind the pool lovers out there what will be here in a just 4 short months…

With that said…if you are interested in being a lifeguard at our pool, please send me a txt (757-768-9326) or email [email protected].

I am also looking for a couple of adults to help me with the pool this Spring and Summer as we will be self managing again this year since it was such a SUCCESS last year!

This year, because many of our families are not returning to school and fall sports and activities as they normally would, the VGCA voted to extend our pool season for the additional three weekends of September. In addition to our regular summer season, the pool will be open to current members on
September 12 – 13, 19 – 20, and 26 – 27 from 1 to 5 PM.

The Board, Membership Committee, and Social Committee would also like to extend this offer to ALL Village Green households. If you are currently not a member of the VGCA or haven’t gotten around to paying your membership fees, you can pay the $75 VGCA membership fee and your family can use the pool for the extended three weekends. Your membership will be good through March 2021. As a member, your family can also join in the children’s social events – Halloween Party and Breakfast with
Santa – and the miscellaneous adult events that we have scheduled for this fall.

The $75 fee covers basic operation and maintenance of Village Green including grass mowing, utilities, minor and major repairs, as well as insurance on our facilities. This continued maintenance and upkeep,
which is accomplished mainly by volunteers, helps maintain property values for ALL homes in the neighborhood. For less than you spend on coffee in a few months, you could be pitching in and improving our community.

If you would like to take advantage of the September membership drive, complete the attached form and return it to 625 Brandywine Drive by Friday, September 11 or drop by the pool on Saturday, September 12 from 1 – 5 PM. Your pool is waiting is for you!
