What is it about your old pool that really puts a twist in your Speedo?

about your old pool |
What's cool about
Green Acres |
- Too rambunctious - always waiting for adult swim for a little peace and quiet
|
- Choose a chaise at our full sized LOWER 25m POOL. When the team is not practicing, it is reserved for adults and lap swimmers. Read a book, socialize with other adults, hear the birds chirp!
|
- Swim team practice and CAMP makes a crowd and limits open swim time
|
- UPPER 25m POOL is for open swim and families almost all the time, where fun but safe rules the day. Our team has its own separate pool!
|
- Don't get a lot of use out of the pool because of my work hours
|
- How about a fresh air workout before work with our Early Morning Swim times from 5:30am-8am? Now that's value added!
|
- Don't want to buy a bond!
|
- Bond purchase is optional. Try us this summer. If you love GA, it pays to buy a bond and keep coming back.

Two Full Sized 25 Meter Pools and a Baby Pool
There is no other club like us in N. Wilmington!
Having two big pools gives us plenty of room for all our activities.
This pool is for families, free swim, and fun events.
This pool is for swim team practice within limited hours.
It is primarily for lap swimmers, lessons, and adults who prefer a quieter poolside atmosphere.
The lower pool is assumed to be unguarded and "swim at your own risk". No one may swim alone without an attentive partner age 18 or older.
Green Acres also has an active Social Calendar for all ages.
Of course, our social events will continue to expand throughout the swim season.
Continue to check our Event Calendar for more information on upcoming activities.
Come play: Basketball, Volleyball, Tether-ball, Horseshoes, Ping Pong, BBQs and more.
Division A Team with Winning, One of a Kind Swim Coach
Another awesome Green Acres notable is our Swim Coach – Coach Cindy Millison.
Green Acres is very pleased to have Coach Cindy and her coaching team with our swim club for another year. Coach Cindy is one of the top mechanics coaches in the Wilmington area, so Green Acres is very proud to have her head our swim program. In 2007 and 2009 she coached the Green Acres Sharks to undefeated seasons and won Division B Champs in 2009! We have been a Division A team since 2010.
Watch out other swim clubs. The Green Acres Sharks will be Attacking!!
