zero-depth entry pools (ramp) (Chesapeake, Newport News: appointed, YMCA, beach)

[blondieblue227]

i found one at northside and williamsburg community pool.

are there more?

(pool lifts break so if a pool has a lift it's useless)

[Mr Williamsburg]

Queens Lake community in northern York County has one but you have to be a member to swim.

thanks.

well i can only find one on this side of the water at northside.

i called City of VB today 385-3111 and they connected me with somebody in aquatics who said they're in the talks of building a zero-depth entry pool. who knows when thou?

i visited princess anne rec today and was very disappointed. a beautiful relatively new place and no zero-depth ramp. the staff were very nice and talked with me awhile about it.

she said
all VB recs have the same arcitect plan?
is that true?

thanks.
that's funny because when i first moved here i joined the mt trashmore YMCA because they had a pool lift. it was broken 90% of the time. so that means i couldn't get in the pool.

that manager would not give me my membership back!!
why did he just defer me to the chesapeake Y?

today somebody from the city of virginia beach called me.
within 5 years virginia beach will have a zero-depth entry pool.
