Final Thoughts from Coach Scott
If you did not attend the Banquet, you can pick up your trophies and ribbons at Coach Scott’s house. Please send an email to coaches@swimlpac.org to arrange a time. After this week, they’ll go back into the container until next season.
Many swimmers have been asking about opportunities to continue swimming year-round. We’re lucky to have many excellent teams in the area that offer flexible programs; see the Year-Round Swimming page on the team website for more information. You can also send mail to coaches@swimlpac.org to talk to any of the year-round swim families to discuss which program might work best for you. The Stingrays welcome any Penguin for a free on-week trial.

Next Saturday, let’s see if we can become League Champions to go along with our Dual Meet Championship. Our preparation includes each swimmer relaxing this week after attending practice. don’t forget to eat well, including those pasta like dinners beginning early in the week. And finally, try and get some good sleep throughout the week, before Champs even starts.
