News Splash May 5

CAJ President

Hello CAJ Parents,

Good Luck to our 14 swimmers who will compete in Redding at Shasta College on Saturday. A separate email will go out later today or tomorrow morning about this swim meet.

Senior Group has begun morning practices at the PV pool starting May 2, 5:30 am to 7:30 am.

The coaches are putting emphasis on stroke development at this point in the season, especially for the Pre-Seniors and Seniors while keeping their yardage up. The MiniJets, White, and Navy continue stroke development for part of each workout.

Practice times in May have not changed for any of the groups for afternoon/evening sessions.

The summer schedule is posted on our website. A detailed Summer schedule (calendar view) is in the works.

Pre Senior & Senior Groups

Please check the modified schedule for May on our website.

NEW SWIMMERS: SIGN  CAJ WAIVER  AND HAND IT TO YOUR COACH   

SWIMMER ACCOUNT REMINDER:  All swimmer fees are due on the 1st day of each month and are considered late if not received by the 10th. A $10 late fee will be assessed for late payments. Notice of intent to discontinue swimming must be provided to the Chico AquaJets in writing by the 15th of the month before the date of inactivity to cancel monthly fees. Written notice should be provided through the "Contact Us'' button on the CAJ website. Verbal notice to coaches is not sufficient. Any written notice occurring after the 15th of the month before deciding to discontinue will be charged the following month. Any hanging balances left will be billed and payment will be required before any re-registration.

  • BE ADVISED: if you discontinue your membership, there are NO spots guaranteed upon return as we continue to operate with a lengthy waiting list. The $65 registration fee will be reassessed upon re-registration.
  • CAJ WEBSITE: All members must double-check your Team Unify member account to ensure that your e-mail is correct and verified. We also need you to verify your SMS number, and make sure you use dashes. This will ensure you receive ALL of our communications.
  • REMINDER FROM IN MOTION: If families discontinue their In Motion gym membership it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to notify In Motion that the swimmer is remaining an Aquajet swimmer. We’d also appreciate notification to the team through the “contact us” button so that our bookkeeper and membership coordinators are aware of your IMF membership status. This will assist in smooth entry to the club as well as accurate billing information for CAJ. Thanks!
