Club Brittany

There is nothing that is overly exciting to me about Club Brittany. This is a pool only, no other services are offered and the complex is in need of improvements.The pool is located in a nice 1960-70's residential area. I am unsure when the CB complex was built, but if I had to guess in mid 70's and looks it too. Getting the area can be complicated without directions since it is so far off the beaten path. Off of Great Neck Rd. turn on Inlynview Rd. and go approximately two miles to Five Point Rd. and make a left and travel to the dead end and arrive at the pool straight ahead.Parking is almost zilch at the pool. There is some limited parking in a grass area by a storage shed to the right by an abandoned basketball court. The majority of event parking is going to be street only which ends up going down the road over a mile.Once you arrive at the pool you will walk down a steep hill to the area. The complex is located off of a body of water, however I don't know what it is. The water closest to the entrance is stagnant and looks swampy. It also creates an environment for mosquitoes on warm evenings. Bring bug spray.The wooden blue building that houses restrooms is the first building you will see. The larger building beside it houses storage, concessions. Neither one are falling down by any stretch, but they are not great shape.The pool is rectangular with a bump out for a 5 meter spring board. This is the only pool among VBSL teams that I am aware of offering a high dive. This makes it very desirable for children and for good reason. The high dive is one of the biggest draws the pool has. The small deck is a combination of concrete close to the road and wood beside the body of water. There is also deck to the far end as you enter, just not very much of it making for chaotic dual swim meets when larger teams are competing.The pool offers a five lane 25 meter course for competition. At the shallow end around 4 ft deep, under the diving area approximately 10 feet. The pool is now open and ready for members, swim team practices and meets . Club Brittany is a member of the Virginia Beach Swim League and are the "Blue Tide: I only know one of the coaches who is awesome. They are lucky to have Carol Withus hopefully on staff again who is the ODU Swimming and Diving Head Coach. I have not heard to date if she is returning, but believe she will.A warming to parents with small children that cannot swim. The body of water just outside of the pool is not supervised by staff. YOU must watch you children, the water is only a few feet, but enough to cause a tragedy. Children that can swim should never play in this area. The water is disgustingly murky.The club needs facility upgrades to bring it up to par. However, it is up and going and meets my minimum standards and is safe. If I resided in the neighborhood this pool would be a great choice due to it's proximity.
