Hello Penguin Posse,
FUNDRAISERS:
MAY IS ALS MONTH: PENNY WARS FUNDRAISER
This year LPAC swimmers have the chance to participate in two Fundraisers. Instructions for Penny Wars, LPAC fundraiser for ALS Month, is on the Fundraising page of our website. Please check it out. Penny Wars is going strong. On the very first day the coaches noticed some big bills in the 8-10 practice jug. Someone’s been playing dirty. If you haven’t gotten to contribute yet, you still have time to participate. Penny Wars will go until Time Trials on May 31st. If you plan on getting food from the snack shack at Time Trials you may think about putting your change from the “Best Snack Shack in the League” into the jugs.
MEMORIAL DAY CLINIC- MONDAY, MAY 26
One week from today we have our yearly Memorial Day Clinic. There are no regular team practices on Memorial Day, May 26, but swimmers are invited to attend an optional Swim Clinic that morning. The coaches will be working with small groups of kids on diving from the blocks, backstroke starts, pulldowns, and all types of turns. Swimmers who want to work on any of these skills are welcome to attend.
This year’s Memorial Day Clinic will be splitting into two clinics:
Ages 10 and under will be from 9 -9:45 am
Ages 11 and up will be from 9:45-10:30 am.
