OVERNIGHTER: SATURDAY, JUNE 22
The annual Overnighter is next Saturday night and is one of LPAC’s most treasured traditions and a highlight of every swim team season. LPAC swimmers get to camp out in tents on the grass next to the Los Paseos pool and stay up late swimming, dancing, playing dodge ball, and just having fun with their friends.
Be sure to register your swimmer(s) now: 2024 Overnighter Registration
Your swimmer will not want to miss out on the event of the Season! Register your swimmer(s) now so we know how much food to purchase and how much fun to provide.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Planning and executing the overnighter is a big job and the board members stay all night to ensure that your kiddos are safe and sound at the pool, by the time morning comes, they are all exhausted. We ask that every family please do your part to pick up the areas surrounding your child’s tent and space. We also ask that every family please do their part to help with the Overnighter Kitchen Duty and Cleanup. Please sign up. Volunteer hours are 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM on Sunday the 23rd. If for some reason you are having trouble getting into the Google Sign up please email Heather Castro.
Looking forward to an amazing 2024 overnighter!
