Shark Pride Day– Thurs April 18^th  5:00-7:00pm

This Thursday March 28^th is Shark Pride Day!  All groups will be swimming together from 5:00-7:00pm.  Please note that we will be extending Shark Pride day until 7:00pm this month. The last Thursday of every month is Shark Pride Day. On this day, all VJO swimmers are encouraged to wear their team shirts to school and around town.  Show off your Shark spirit!  We want to encourage team unity by having the entire swim team practice together from 5-7pm.  The team will warm-up together, work on skills together, and play games/ relays together.  This will be a team building day with a great opportunity to get to know swimmers in other groups. 

***This is also Set-up day for our meet, so please parents come down and help set-up at 5:00pm***
