delivered. The purchase price is $40 per tree with approximately
50% of the purchase price going to the Chico AquaJets. The trees

Crab Feed – Saturday, February
6th– Please
mark the date on your calendar. More info will be available next
week.
Polar Bear
Club– The coaches will
take roll at every practice starting in November through the end of
February. All swimmers have a goal for practice
attendance. Swimmers who meet their goal are inducted into the
Chico AquaJets Polar Bear Club at the March Pizza Night. The
Polar Bear Club members are awarded with a special award. The
deal with attendance: Swimmers must swim at each practice,
senior swimmers can swim with morning or evening masters and it
will count as a practice that day, each day swum at a swim meet
will count as bonus attendance days. Please don't bring sick
kids to the pool. It is a good idea to get some extra days in
early to make up for unforeseen illness and family vacations.
Practice attendance goals: 6 & un 55%, 7 & 8
60%, 9 & 10 65%, 11 & 12 70%, 13 to 18 75%.
