Dear Swimmers and Parents,
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. The
“12 Articles of clothing Strip Down” last Thursday was
a big hit. Our swimmers had a blast swimming with all their
clothing on, even though it was a little tricky at the
beginning. We wish everyone a Happy New Years!
Keep a look out for the February 7-9 VJO C/B/A+ Meet, it will
be open online (ome.swimconnection.com) for entries in the next
week.
