Dear Penguin Family,
Here are some quick reminders before our meet against Almaden tomorrow. We also have a lot of information about upcoming events! Next Thursday, June 12th, is a big day with both Picture day and the Penguin Pool Party. Information for both events near the bottom of this email. Also, we start morning practices next week, so look at the practice section and make sure you get to practice on time.
A quick reminder, if you have two or more children on LPAC, parents are required to volunteer for two shifts per meet. It is up to our Volunteer Coordinators to decide if we need you for each meet. Please let us know if you are unable to be at a meet at least a week in advance if possible. This helps us to plan the meets better if we know who will be there ahead of time.
Meet Results from Time Trials are here! We are not posting the meet entries nor the meet results on the webpage anymore. You will only be able to find meet entries and results in the newsletters from now on. Most pools will have the meet entries posted during meets so you can look for those.

PARENT RELAY TEAM
Please bring your suit and goggles to our upcoming meets. Many of our opponents enjoy ending meets with a parent or family relay. Please email info@swimlpac.org if you are interested in participating and Jennie Anderson will approach and confirm you can swim during the meet. It’s a fun tradition and your Penguin family looks forward to cheering you on especially your little penguin. It’s so fun for them to see their Parent’s swim.
2025 LPAC COMMUNITY BOOK
Help your fellow penguin families get to know you and your swimmer(s)! Add your family picture to the 2025 LPAC Community Book, add your swimmer’s names and ages along with some fun family facts to a slide.
