Dear Penguin Kin,
Our season has almost come to an end. It has been such a fun year.
Penguins and Parents what an amazing job you all did being Community minded and helping us clean up Los Paseos Park. This event is near and dear to the entire Coaching staff. They are so proud of the 75 powerful Penguin helpers we had out there today. With all of the help we had we were done in a hour and a half. Then we got to have an extreme Penguin vs Penguin water fight and ended the morning with ice cream. Thank you to everyone that participated. You all did a great job! Keep up the good work for our community!
There is some important information in the email that we wanted to make you aware of.
- This Friday, July 5, is the last day to turn in your Splash & Dash pledges for your swimmer to receive prizes and to help support LPAC.
- Saturday, July 6th is the Annual LPAC Raft Trip. If you are attending remember to bring one signed waiver for each family member that is going rafting. If you already turned them in to the Rafting folder, you are all good. If you didn’t get to go this year don’t worry there is always next year.
- We received news from the Motel 6 in Oakdale that they have had some cancelations for this weekend. This means that they have more rooms with two Queen size beds available for LPAC families. Call for a reservation or to change your reservation and ask for the LPAC discount/manager’s special when booking your room.
- The End of Season Banquet is the day after Champs on Sunday July 14th. If anyone in your family wants to receive a meal please register by this upcoming Sunday, July 9th, using the 2024 LPAC Banquet form. On the Form there is a space for you to say how many swimmers are receiving free meals in your family and how many additional ($15) meals you will be paying for. We need your payment by Zelle, cash or check made out to LPAC with the Family name and Banquet clearly written on the notes section by July 9th.
- In order to make our Annual LPAC Spaghetti Dinner a hit for our high schoolers we need families of high schoolers to please Sign up to bring something to this event.

SPLASH & DASH (FORMELY KNOWN AS SWIM-A-THON) PLEDGES DUE BY JULY 5TH
Pledges are due in 5 days. If you have not turned in your pledge sheet and donations please do. This year we have shown our Penguin power and our Penguin Strength. Now it is time to show our Penguin generosity and our Penguin Goodwill. The 2024 Splash & Dash n is raising money to cover three things this year:
- The new black and white backstroke flags that we use during meets.
- The beautiful new brick pathway that was imagined, organized, laid out and made possible by LPAC’s very own Dylan D., who is working on attaining the rank of Eagle from Troop 286. This was his Eagle project and LPAC agreed to reimburse him for the materials he used. We are so proud of him for making this a reality.
- This summer we will be patching the LPAC shed floor, which is key to keeping our LPAC equipment in good shape for years to come. So that critters (insects and vermin) don’t make our shed their home and so that we do not have to replace equipment so often..
Please help us to accomplish these three important expenditures that were not budgeted for by our board. Don’t worry you can still collect pledges even after the Splash & Dash is over by printing out a Splash & Dash 2024 Pledge sheet. All donations are tax deductible. Turn in pledge sheets and money to the Splash & Dash aka Swim A Thon folder in the back of the swimmer folders by July 5th in order to be eligible to win Penguin Prizes. We want everyone who is due a prize to be able to get one. Please everyone contribute something so that your swimmer will not be left out. Thank you for your generosity and support that you have shown by participating in this years Splash & Dash!

Dear Penguin Friends,
CHAMPS is FAST approaching, this message is to help families prepare. The Valley Cabana Swim League, the league that LPAC is part of, has to pay to use the Morgan Hill Aquatics Center. They have to pay for over 700 ribbons and trophies for the top teams. The two items in this email will help the league with off setting costs for CHAMPS. Mr. Pickles gives a percentage of how much they make the day of Champs back to the league and Champ Ads are priced so that the league gets a portion of the proceeds. Help the League by purchasing these so that all of the teams do not have to split the full cost of going to Champs.
~ PRE-ORDER CHAMPS FOOD NOW ~
Champs is a long hot day, and it is nice to have your food planned out. The league has partnered with Mr. Pickles to have a lunch delivered to the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center for CHAMPS attendees. We must prepay for our Mr. Pickles meals. Fill out the Mr. Pickles form here and pre-payment is due Satuday 6/29 to the family file folder box under the treasurer’s folder or via zelle with the email treasurer@swimlpac.org.
Family file folder boxes are out at every practice and will be out at our meet at Silver Creek on Saturday 6/29 at the ribbons table.
~ CHAMPS ADS TIMELINE ~
Purchase your Champs Ads before July 2nd. Champs Ads go in the Valley Cabana League Program that will be available for purchase on the day of Champs. It is a nice way to tell your swimmer “Great Job this year”, they are especially nice for our age-outs. A little note from the parents with a picture of them when they were a little penguin and now as a grown up penguin.
Champs Programs will be in black and white. Ads are placed by team in the Program. Here is an example of a Champs Ad from Montevideo.
