COACH’S CORNER

The End of the Summer BBQ is tomorrow (8/12) at Wildwood Park. The BBQ will start at 5:30pm and last until 7:30pm. We are asking everyone to bring a $5 donation for each person in their party that plans on eating. There will be no Senior or Pre-Senior practice this day to accommodate for the BBQ.

Save the Date: CAJ Fall Pentathlon is Saturday Sep 27 at the PV Pool. We are hosting this one and will need all hands on deck to make sure it runs smoothly. The last few meets we have hosted have impressed me with how well we have worked together to offer a positive meet experience for the swimmers. Let’s keep that streak going Aquajets and have a fun Saturday of racing to wrap up September!

This Friday (8/15) we are having our Penny Drop Team Practice! Our Penny Drop Jar is full and it is time to celebrate the progress our Aquajets have made! All groups will swim together for relays and games. Coaches may even get in the water as well to join in the fun. At the end of the practice, we will have a drawing for one swimmer to dump a bucket of ice water on my head. Please plan to be at the pool by 4:00pm so I have time to split everyone into teams. We will do relays and games 4:15-5:15 and will do the ice bucket drop around 5:20. I will offer a small hour-long practice for Seniors and Pre-Seniors afterwards, 5:30-6:30.
