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

New LPAC Shortened Season 2021 The LPAC Board is excited to announce we will be holding a shortened, 6-week summer swim season. The Season will begin with morning practices on June 7th, ending by July 18th. Currently meets (possibly 2) will be virtual. Every practice will use current safety protocols, and of course we will include lots of penguin fun. Due to our standard expenses for any length of a season, cost will currently remain the same as last year, pre-pays from last year will be applied. The current price is still a great deal; if we break down the cost by week, then the cost for your first swimmer is $36.67 a week for association members (total of $220) and $40 per week for non-association members (total of $240). Also as is our custom here at LPAC, all of your swimmers beyond the 1st are about $20.00 less for the entire season. BUT remember, you must pay for the entire 6 week season, it is not a pay as you go system. Look for the LPAC Registration Packet on April 1st! (Really, we are not kidding.) — Los Paseos Aquatic Club Team Communications info@swimlpac.org
