Great Job VJO Swimmers!  We had a lot of fantastic swims last Saturday Jan 19^th 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!

If your son or daughter plans to take a break from swimming with VJO please make sure you notify the team via email or written notice two weeks in advance.  Please email our Membership Chair, Diane Powell ([email protected]) and Treasurer, Dora Tang ([email protected]) the dates you son or daughter will not be swimming.  This can also be done clicking the contact us on our team website,  where your email will notify the same individuals. You will also need to pay a $10 inactive fee during the months your child is not swimming.  Paying the inactive fee will enable you to join back at any time without having to pay the family member fee again.  Thank you!
