COACH’S CORNER

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 Thursday at 11:30am CARD is having a Groundbreaking Ceremony for the New Aquatic Facility. It is an exciting time to be a swimmer here in Chico! Come join me to celebrate this new phase of swimming in the area. Here is a link for more information: CARD Groundbreaking Ceremony Info

Starting next week a few groups are restarting some Dryland sessions at their practice. Dryland is a useful tool in helping swimmers get stronger and improve their body control in ways that are hard to focus on in the water. Dryland sessions help swimmers become better athletes overall, and in turn help their performance in the pool. Navy group will have one dryland session a week on Wednesdays 4:15pm-4:45pm at In Motion. Seniors and Pre-Seniors will have two dryland sessions a week on Wednesdays and Fridays 5:00pm-5:30pm at In Motion.

In two weeks, on Monday September 1, all afternoon practices will be canceled for Labor Day. Enjoy your long weekend Aquajets!
