News Splash July 6

Andrew Hasek

Hello CAJ Parents,

We have some exciting swim meets in the next few weeks, leading up to the NVALs. It is very important that you attend practice and swim meets.  The coaches need to see the swimmers compete. It is essential for us to identify areas that need improvement. We want to do our very best to get every swimmer ready for the NVALs and other big meets coming up. 

Orland Meet is this weekend. The deadline to sign up is tomorrow Thursday, July 7. Saturday and Sunday warm-ups for this meet start at 7:45 am, meet begins at 9:00 am

We have a dual meet scheduled with the Gridley Gators next Tuesday, July 12. (Gridley Pool). Warm-ups are at 5:30 pm, meet will be over around 8:00. Any group can enter, but I would like all the White Group and Minijets to attend. This meet is an ideal way for your child to get experience at a swim meet. The races will be 25 and 50 yards. Even if they just joined the swim team it is a great way to get the experience. Each swimmer can swim in 2 events. To enter your child for this meet, email me what event they would like to swim. If not, sure coaches will enter them. Label the email Gridley Swim Meet, Deadline Sunday, July 10th. 

Call, text, or email if you have any questions.

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, 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!
