Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,
4th of July Parade
Thank you all for joining us in the 160th Annual
Vallejo 4th of July Parade. We had a great turn
out this year and we were very excited to have a larger number of
VJO family members walking with us. We hope everyone had a
fun and safe holiday!
Good Luck Junior Olympic Team!
We would like to wish our 2013 Junior Olympic Team good luck
