Frequently Asked Questions
When can I swim?
Masters swimmers will be offered lane space with Vallejo Aquatic Club.  We will do our best to designate the lane closest to the ladder for Masters use.  Masters will be notified of VJO schedule changes and additional pool space via email.  (Occasional morning or Saturday workouts)
 

What if I don’t understand something in the workout?
Email, text, call the Masters Coach!  When you arrive on deck, you may also connect with the VJO Coaches for clarification however, be advised, prior to the Masters Workout they are conducting age group practice.

What if I have pain during or after a workout?
If a drill or technique causes you pain, stop doing it!  Follow up with an email to the coach and they can help you adjust for the future to avoid pain.  However, this does NOT substitute for medical care of advice.  Seek medical attention when appropriate!

What if I am not on auto-pay?
Auto-Pay will be required for inclusion in the email group.  If you prefer to send a check, please make arrangements with the VJO treasurer and she will notify the coaching staff to include you in the email.
