Any food or trash you bring into the pool area should be carried out to the dumpster outside or taken with you, please. With construction, no pool staff and only our LPAC coaches there at the end of the night, taking out the trash should not be one of the coaches jobs.

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.
Even with the raise in registration this year, 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 meghanengle@gmail.com.
MERCHANDISE IS AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 1st!
