News Splash November 2

CAJ President

Good Afternoon CAJ Parents,

 

Coach Andrew’s Corner

 

Any potential practice time changes have been delayed until further notice. I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes, and I will do my best to give you a final answer as soon as possible. If we decide to change practice times we will give at least a two week notice before implementing the changes.

 The RAD AGO Trials and Finals meet is this Saturday and Sunday (11/5-11/6). Coach Jon will have a short team meeting at 8:30am on Saturday and 7:30am on Sunday before starting warmups. Amongst other things, a timing chair sign up sheet will get started at this meeting. We only have one chair to fill on Saturday and two chairs to fill on Sunday. Attached to the News Splash are psych sheets for prelims.It looks like it is going to be chilly with a good chance of rain this weekend so come prepared; multiple towels, warm shoes, and spare socks are a good start. If you have a pop-up/ez-up this is the meet to bring it to. Good luck this weekend, let’s go Aquajets!

 Sign ups for the WAC Cranberry Classic meet close next week on Thursday (11/10) at 11:59pm. Come join in on the fun and work up an appetite before Thanksgiving the following week.

 Our team dinner is in one week! It starts at 6:00pm on Wednesday 11/9 at Round Table. We will be canceling the Presenior and Senior groups practices so that everyone will get a chance to come and eat some pizza. The coaches are excited and we hope you are too, see you next week!

We are canceling practice Wednesday 11/23/22-Friday 11/25/22 enjoy the time off and make some memories.

 If your swimmer is not USA swimming registered yet, please do so as soon as you can. There is a link to do so in the “USA SWIM REGISTRATION” section of this news splash.

NEW AQUAJETS: 

Please Familiarize yourself with our    Team Handbook located on the CAJ website under Join the Team.  

We ask that parents avoid being on deck during practice as it can be distracting to the coaches and the swimmers.  

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, 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!
