Space Concerns at Champs:

  • Parking is limited. Carpooling is encouraged.
  • LPAC will set up 10 Team EZ Ups for our Penguins and Families.
  • Families will NOT be permitted to set up their own EZ Ups.
  • Space is very limited at Gunderson, so plan to squeeze in tight!
  • When the morning session ends and the afternoon session begins, the LPAC EZ Ups will remain in place, to shelter our team.
  • Families with swimmers only in the morning session, will need to leave when it concludes, to make room for families in the afternoon session.
  • Food Trucks will be on site:
    • Tea-Up, Waffle Amore, 3 Hermanos – Breakfast burritos and lunch offerings
  • Big buddies will not be available to help little buddies get to their events, so parents will need to stay on top of their children.
  • No photography or videography in the locker rooms or bathrooms.
  • No photography or videography from the diving end of the pool. Parents must film and take pictures from the opposite end of the pool.
  • All high point awards will be celebrated at the Banquet.
  • Go PENGUINS! Just like at dual meets, improvement counts for 50% of the score at Champs. Every Penguin can make a difference!
