NEW LANE LINES!

Check out our new lane lines when you get to practice! We are so excited that they make the pool look so Penguiny! Thanks to our generous swim-a-thon donations last year, we were able to purchase new lane lines, that we desperately needed. Thank you to everyone that participated in the swim-a-thon last year!

SWIM-A-THON:

This year’s Swim-a-Thon will be on June 18th. We will be raising money to refurbish the LPAC storage shed. This has been needed for a long while. We would like to fix the floor and roof of the shed. Please help us to raise money for this cause this year. More information to come.

SPONSORSHIPS:

Do you know of a company in or around the neighborhood that may want to be a part of the greatest swim team around? We are looking for companies to Sponsor LPAC.

Our swim team is the best and least expensive team in our cabana league. (We may be a little biased.) Our ability to keep our swimmers until they graduate only proves our point. Next time you are at a swim meet, count the number of older swimmers the opposing team has and compare it to LPAC. 

In order to keep our registration costs low and continue all our fun penguin traditions, we need to find companies to Sponsor us. If you know of a company in the area that would want to help please email Kelly.fumagalli@gmail.com.”

DON’T FORGET: MERCHANDISE IS AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 5th! 

We have T-shirts, Parkas, sweats and lots of other goodies to show your LPAC pride and keep your swimmers fashionably warm! The Bling option, our LPAC Penguin Logo embellished with colored rhinestones, is again available on selected shirts and hoodies for an additional cost. Deadline to order is May 5, 2024, with an expected delivery date of June 1, 2024.
Please use the 2024 LPAC Merchandise Order Form to place your order by May 5th!

Please plan to pay by check only, which will be returned if needed after tryouts. For questions, contact: Lynnae Brady, 408-504-6914, Lynnaebrady2021@gmail.com

Pre-Season LPAC Reminders

Dear Penguins and Parents,

Swim season is just around the corner! We can’t wait to see you all at the pool. Just a few quick notes and reminders:

 

VOLUNTEER JOBS:
As you all know, it takes a lot to run our fabulous swim team! As a reminder, each LPAC family must provide at least one adult volunteer to work at least one shift at each meet (home, away, and Champs) per swimmer when that child is swimming.

Due to the high demands of swim meets, we ask that families with two or more swimmers contribute two volunteer shifts for each meet. Families with three or more swimmers will not be asked to contribute more than two volunteer shifts per meet. We are all in this together and we cannot do this without every family’s support! 

All returning families need to fill out the Volunteer Jobs Form. If you have not filled it out yet, please do so now. 

Information about volunteer sign-ups will be communicated to you by the Volunteer Coordinators. If you have a question, please ask or check out the Volunteer page of the website!

Please be sure to check the Volunteer Assignment Link on each meet page and/or the Friday Reminder email before each meet to confirm your Volunteer Position.
