COACH’S CORNER

Our next Team Dinner will be next week on Wednesday Oct 29, 6:00pm at Burger Hut (2451 Forest Ave). Come spend the evening with your teammates and enjoy some good food. I will make a few announcements and hand out group awards. There will be no Senior or Pre-Senior practice this day to accommodate for the dinner.

On Saturday February 7, we will be hosting a large fundraiser. Come help and support your Chico Aquajets with this Fundraiser Dinner; an evening of great food, drinks, and community fun, featuring both live and silent auctions in support of our amazing swimmers! Share the event with friends, family, and anyone else that might be interested. More details will be coming out soon.

We have added a meet to our schedule. The Dec 12-14 weekend we will be attending Winterfest in Reno. This will be an excellent meet to wrap up our current training cycle before ramping again for spring championship meets, like the SNS SCY champs at the start of March. Winterfest is a trials and finals meet, where 11 & over swimmers will race in morning prelims to try and qualify for finals later that same day. 10 & under swimmers would be racing in timed finals only, after the 11 & over prelims session has ended. This is supposed to be a beautiful indoor facility, and I hope to see a lot of Aquajets there. When the meet is open for signups I will send out messages. Here is a link to the meet sheet for more information: Winterfest Meet Sheet.
