Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,
VJO Quad Meet Re-cap
Great Job VJO Swimmers! We had a lot of fantastic swims
last Saturday Jan 19th at our VJO Quad Meet. We
had over 70 VJO swimmers attend, which was an outstanding
turn-out. Thank you to all swimmers that participated.
Our coaches were all very excited to see so many new faces at the
meet. We had a lot of first time meet swimmers and we
congratulate all of them on their great first time meet
performances. Results have been posted on the bulletin
board at the pool. A separate email will be sent out with a
list of the final meet results. Keep up the great work!
