Dear Penguins and Parents:
The long winter wait is finally over—swim practices start today!
PRACTICE TIMES
Please try to arrive at least 5 or 10 minutes before your scheduled practice time. Be sure you have your cap and goggles and are ready to swim!
- All new swimmers: 5:00-5:30 pm (this week only)
- 8 & under: 5:30–6:15 pm
- 9-11: 6:15–7:00 pm
- 12-14: 7:00–8:00 pm
- 15-18: 8:00–9:00 pm
SUITS & MERCHANDISE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
You can try on and order team suits and merchandise on Thursday and Friday of this week (4/30 and 5/1) from 5:00 to 8:30 pm. Note that we are keeping the same black and white team suit from last year, so if your children’s suits still fit, you do not need to order new ones. If your kids do need to try on suits, please do so before practice begins if possible, as it’s much harder once the kids are wet. We require that swimmers wear either a team suit or a plain black suit to all meets. There will also be lots of fun LPAC merchandise for sale, so be sure to leave some time before or after practice to do some shopping!
PANCAKE BREAKFAST ON SATURDAY
Kick off the start of the swim team season and join your penguin friends at the clubhouse for a hearty pancake breakfast on Saturday morning, May 2, from 8:30 to 10:00 am. The cost is just $5, and all proceeds benefit LPAC. See more details on the Pancake Breakfast page of the website.
RESERVE ROOMS FOR RAFT TRIP
The team raft trip this year will be on Saturday, July 4. We have reserved a small block of rooms at the Motel 6 in Oakdale, but they do fill up fast. Call 209-847-8181 to reserve your room today. For more information, see the Raft Trip page on the website.
