Welcome LPAC families to our 2021 season!

May 17, 2021

Welcome LPAC families to our 2021 season! The LPAC governing board is really excited to get penguins in the pool!  This season will look different competitively.  Most teams in our league (Valley Cabana Swim  League) will be lower in numbers, LPAC included. All of the teams will be well under 100 swimmers except for LPAC and not because of talent but because of interest.  The governing LPAC board chose to minimize our numbers in order to limit the  number of swimmers in each practice group.   I am proud to boast that the interest in our little team is off the charts and unfortunately we had to turn some families away this season. I want to thank all of the families for recommending LPAC and returning. The league has determined this season “unofficial.”  We will compete virtually and compare times via our leagues standardized HyTec computer program.  We will award LPAC ribbons only, based on times and include participation ribbons.  We will not be exchanging ribbons with the competing team.  LPAC is not ordering a team suit this season. We will have donated suits at practices for swimmers to try beginning the second week of practices but, feel free to order your swimmer(s) an all black appropriate suit or jammer. Our meet dates are as follows:  Time trials: 6/19 1st  virtual meet: 6/26 2nd virtual meet: 7/10 3rd  virtual meet: 7/17

Practice Schedule and New Parent Meeting information is here! This season we’ve adjusted practice times to minimize lane crowding.  Practices will be shorter but penguins will be in the water 5 days a week. June 7th all practices begin including New Swimmer Tryouts
