VSA will be taking warm up orders from October 19th to October 31st.  Coach Mixon will have a fit kit at practice with all sizes (youth to adult).   The warm ups are black with white piping and will have the VSA logo on the left chest.   Order forms must be submitted to our Treasurer Sabrina with a check by Saturday, October 31st.  Warms ups are not mandatory but highly smiled upon by Coach.  Team apparel promotes team spirit.  GO VSA!

VSA’s Fall Festival is scheduled for Thursday, October 29th after an all group practice from 6pm to 7pm.  Refreshments will be provided.  Bring your carved pumpkin to be judged by Coach Mixon.  Awards will be given out to the top three pumpkin carvers, so be creative, think VSA, and get to carving.

VSA was well represented at the Makos Fall Invitational Meet.  Well over 500 swimmers from 16 teams all over the South where in attendance for this past weekend’s meet.  Congrats to an awesome performance from our swimmers!  I was very excited about the overall place that the team finished.  This was a huge accomplishment.  GO VSA!!!
