PRACTICE PROTOCOL PROCEDURES-
CUNNINGHAM POOL
All VJO swimmers and families attending practice at the
Cunningham Pool must read through our "Practice Protocol
Procedures" PDF for Cunningham Pool. We need all swimmers to
know what to expect when they arrive for practice at the Cunningham
Pool. The PDF will teach our swimmers the new protocol and
procedures that we will be following at the Cunningham Pool.
These procedures are similar to both the American Canyon and
Benicia Pool.
