LPAC: Weekly Updates 6/2/2025
Dear Penguin Community,,
Thank you to everyone that helped Time Trials run smoothly. Our coaches did a great job keeping the meet moving. Thank you to everyone that stayed after the meet to help clean up. It was a hot Saturday. We appreciate everyone that came and worked their shifts. LPAC is the best team! This week we have only a few days to get ready for Almaden on Saturday because there is no regular practice today, Monday, June 2.
Coach Caitlyn’s LPAC friendship bracelets sold out at Time Trials. We still have some special ALS research friendship bracelets. Coach Caitlyn will be making more LPAC bracelets for our next home meet. They will not be for sale at our meet against Almaden. Our next home meet is against Silver Creek on 6/14. Come by the snack shack and help support our team and ALS research on 6/14.

- If your child will have to miss all or part of the meet against Almaden, please send an email to coaches@swimlpac.org and volunteers@swimlpac.org TODAY! It really helps the coaches and volunteer coordinators to know ahead of time if you and your swimmer will be at a meet, if possible.
