Colony Pool is one of the oldest (almost 50 years) and largest pools in the area. We are currently the only neighborhood pool with a high dive. We welcome families from all over the peninsula to become members. Our Swim Team was the 2016 Champions of the Red Division Swim Team of GPSA (Greater Peninsula Swimming Association) and placed 2nd in 2017. We strive to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable family atmosphere for our community to spend their summer.

Grounds, Maintenance, Flags, Shed, Ribbons, Chairs

Colony pool offers swim lessons to the public every summer. We opened our field to Menchville's Lacrosse team last spring and hope to do that again this coming spring. Our teens opened the barn last winter to all area kids to come on Sundays to play video games, cards, board games, foosball, ping pong, and basketball.

Several times this past summer we gathered canned goods and non-perishable items and delivered to the Peninsula Food Bank. We hosted First Responder Days throughout the summer and invited Newport News Police and Fire Department personnel and their families to come and enjoy the pool. We are working with local Boys/Girls scout troops. On October 31st, we had a truck or treat in the parking lot for all the kids in the community. We donate towels to the Peninsula Animal Rescue.

We are also working on details of a special offering to active Community Knights Organizations to use Colony Pool for pool parties for their organizations.

We are always looking for news ways we can reach out and aid our community.

Colony Pool has to have a functional and operational pool in order for us to provide for the Virginia Peninsula of Hampton Roads. We have several drain lines that need to be repaired/replaced; this will help us SAVE ON WATER and have a functioning baby pool.
There are several trees on the property that are dead or dying and need to be removed; we have had a few limbs fall and thankfully no one was close to getting hurt.
We need to re-surface the pool to ensure no water leakage into the underground areas that could cause damage to the pool deck.
We are in desperate need of new chairs and thanks to the CK Board for approving this request once in spring 2017; we purchased some chairs, however, we are still in need of replacing/buying more chairs for everyday use but more importantly for special events that we hold throughout the summer such as First Responder Days – where we invite 1st responders of Newport News to complimentary days of swimming; GPSA Swim meets – where other teams on the Peninsula come and compete, we need to have reliable chairs to set up for the visiting swimmers and their families; and lastly for parents of children who come for swim lessons (parents are not permitted to swim while their children are in lessons).
The swim team is in desperate need to replacing our back stroke flags at each end of the pool. We hope to buy a small shed/container to house our kick boards, pace clock, flags and other swim teams items to have them centrally located and to preserve them for years to come. Each summer, in addition to our regular GPSA division meets, we host several friendship meets with teams in other divisions as well as a Christmas in July meet - where we invite one or more GPSA teams from other divisions to come and enjoy a fun swim meet with an opportunity to swimmers to try and qualify for City Meet times as well as some fun relays - Board Short Girls and Bikini Boys relay, Summer Santa Relay, Jingle Bell Relay, Snowball Relay, Snow Coach Relay - no one keeps score - we all WIN and we have candy, ribbons and other fun prizes for all of the swimmers.

Colony Pool strives to offer summer fun for any and all members of our greater community. We are open from Memorial Day through Labor day. We had a cook out for our members on Saturday, May 27, 2017 and asked each of our members to contribute canned goods that we donated to the Peninsula Food Bank. We hosted several First Responder Days this summer where we invited NNFD and NNPD First Responders and their families to come and enjoy a day at the pool, free of charge. And, we are going to be working with a representative of the US Navy and Army, making care packages for local sailors who are deployed as well as soldiers at Fort Eustis who are here without their families.

The Members of the Pool Board/Swim Team Board meet and work year-round to ensure that all of our projects get taken care of and our pool remains and safe and fun environment for all. Both Boards work together along with the members at Large to take care of the necessary repairs and improvements as needed. We have Chair-persons and committees in place to take care of all areas on the pool.

On behalf of Colony Pool and the Cuda Swim Team, we commend Community Knights Bingo,m all of the dedicated volunteers and especially Jennifer Brown and Teresa Michener for creating an unmatched fundraising opportunity to the many struggling non-profit organizations on the Peninsula.
