The pool is again offering our Early Morning Adult Lap Swim Program this season. The program will began on Monday, June 7 and continues every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Each early morning session runs from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. sharp! The Early Morning Adult Lap Swim is open to VFC members 18 years of age and older only. There is no lifeguard on duty during the program and members participate at their own risk. There must always be at least two swimmers participating at all times. SWIMMING ALONE IS STRICLY PROHIBITED. As with all swim programs, conduct of the program sessions is weather dependent.
We'll be offering two sessions of swimming lessons this summer, conducted by Red Cross Certified instructors who are usually part of our Swim Team Coaching Staff and/or Lifeguard Staff. Private lessons are also available. Signup sheets will be available at the lobby desk. For more information, including session dates and costs, click here.
We are very excited to announce that we have retained Bill's Place to operate our snack bar this summer and, we hope, for years to come. Most of you are familiar with Bill's Place in LaGrange Park and the wonderful food and service they offer. Please check out the brand new and extensive menu here: 2010 MENU. The V will be offering everything from crisp salads to chicken tenders to paninis to Italian Beef and a broad variety of traditional snack bar fare: pizza, hot dogs, ice cream treats, etc. Exciting weekly weekly specials are being planned, too. Also, with only very minor exceptions, the snack bar will be open whenever the pool is open!
Our 2009 Annual Meeting was held on November 17, 2009. At the Annual Meeting, four new Board Members were elected to three year terms. Please welcome Ed McFadden, Mike Vaccarella, Mike Murphy and Ashley Long to your Board. We all look forward to the new and fresh ideas these folks will offer. WELCOME!
The Lost & Found baskets located in the front of the lobby will be emptied every Wednesday. Any items of value will be retained in the Manager's Office. Any toys will be placed in the bin by the baby pool. All other items will be donated to charity. Please check the baskets prior to Wednesday of each week for any items you may be missing. Please also extend to your fellow members the courtesy of replacing items in the basket after your searching and sorting. Please don't leave towels, clothes, goggles, toys, shoes, underwear, etc., strewn about. Your cooperation in this regard is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
As many kid's activities are ending, this is high season for private parties at the pool As private parties impact the operation, staffing and administration of the pool, as well as our other members ability to use and enjoy the pool, all parties must be booked in advance and approved in advance by the Pool Manager. Please click HERE for more private party details.
Swim Team practice will only be cancelled when the temperature is below 65 degrees or if there is threatening weather in the area (thunder & lightening). We will try to notify team members via email, but please always contact the pool to make sure whether practice will be held.
