Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,

4^th of July Parade -Thank you to all swimmers, parents, and family members that walked with VJO in the 159^th Vallejo 4^th of July Parade.  The parade went very well and we had a great representation from the Vallejo Aquatics Club.  We would like to thank everyone that helped organize this event for us.  We would also like to give a special thank you to Claudia Quintana for getting Team Chevrolet to donate the truck and our driver in the parade, Erik Keilholtz.

Westside Aquaducks Meet July 6-8- Great Job Sharks! Our VJO team had a grand total of 43 swimmers attend the Westside Aquaducks Meet on July 6-8.  We had a lot of terrific swims with many new “B”, “A”, “JO”, and “FW” time standards achieved. The final results will be posted on the swim connection and pacific swimming website in the next couple of days. Awesome Job VJO, keep us the hard work!
