Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,
It’s great to have everyone back at practice again! We hope everyone had a great Holiday season. We apologize again for the extended break. While installing the new boilers and pump they ran into some unforeseen delays which extended the re-heating time of the pool. Both new boilers are now working strong and the pool has been back up to temperature since last Thursday Jan 3rd. We thank everyone for your patience during this break.
