Time to Register for LPAC!
Who has been waiting to hear these wonderful words, “Registration for all Returning LPAC Families starts today, March 1st!” Yes, we are looking forward to a full season, with all the bells and whistles of an exciting LPAC summer. Everyone looks forward to the dual meets.
Remember, we are still the official champions of the league, let’s do what we can to maintain that standing. Have fun, practice, swim hard and repeat! But before you can enter the pool we need your registration.
Each season we endeavor to make the process a little easier, so you will note, we included Zelle payments as an option for all of our members. Now making life a little easier for the Registrar means we really need hard copy printouts of the completed forms to be provided by all the returning families. Meaning we just can’t facilitate email registration for our returning members.
*** 2022 Reg packet was updated March 1st. All prior versions are missing the “Informed Consent for Child to Participate in Summer Cabana Swim League” form which must be completed as well. So if you downloaded prior to March 1st you are missing this page.***
Things to know:
- Something to remember: Just like last year, we will not be holding night practice sessions for those who can not join us for morning practice once the school year ends on June 3rd.
- Something New! We are now ready to accept payment via Zelle, just look us up under the email treasurer@swimlpac.org using your Zelle App. Be sure to include the family name and swimmers in the memo section.
- Know a New Family who wants to join our team? Please have them send an email to Info@swimlpac.org with a subject line of “New Family 2022” to inquire about the special open Registration held on March 26th, 8:00 – 9:30 AM using signup genius. I will be happy to send them the process and appropriate information. Yes we have spots open too.

The Relay Finale!
LPAC Alumni vs 2021 Age Outs vs Parents vs Coaches
Who will win? Right now we know the Parents are awesome with their first win of any recent season last Saturday. Can the coaches return to their winning ways or are they washed up after this grueling season of coaching. And what about the Alumni, how long has it been since these penguins hit the pool? It is a mystery!
Take Your Mark, Get Set and Go!
