This Thursday March 28th
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
