The First Colony pool is a 25 meter, competition-sized pool, with a shallow area, lap lane, diving well with two low diving boards, and a separate baby pool. Several canopies provide shaded areas to go along with the plentiful area for sunning. We have a beautiful brand new pool house with a snack bar, rest rooms, and changing rooms.
