Dear Penguins and Parents:
Thanks to all for another great swim season and banquet! Just a few end-of-season things:
- If you did not attend the Banquet, you can pick up your trophies and ribbons at Coach Scott’s house. Please send email to info@swimlpac.org to arrange a time. After this week, they’ll go back into the container until next season.
- For a limited time, you can view or download the 2018 video here: LPAC 2018 Team Video. Thanks again to the video team for making this available to all!
- Thinking about swimming year-round? Coach Ryan has extended an invitation for any and all penguins to join him at South Valley Stingrays (just up the road at Rancho Santa Teresa), and you can try it out any time for a week at no charge. There are also other 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 or talk to any of the year-round swim families to discuss which program might work best for you.
Enjoy the rest of your summer…GO PENGUINS!
