Dear Penguins and Parents:
The coaches were happy to have such great attendance at the first week of practice. We know this is a busy time of year for everybody, but try to keep the momentum and continue coming to as many practices as you can.
WELCOME NEW PENGUINS!
We’re excited to welcome 17 brand-new penguins to the LPAC family! They all did a great job during the first-week tryouts and are very excited to be on the swim team. Special thanks to the high school swimmers who have been coming to help out while we wait for Coaches Julia, Nicole and Jaclyn to finish up their college classes.
SWIM CHICK AND PENGUIN PAPA SHIRTS STILL AVAILABLE
If you didn’t already order one, it’s not too late to order the cute “Swim Chick” or “Papa Penguin” t-shirts! Contact Jennie Anderson ASAP to place your order.
STROKE & TURN CLINIC ON SATURDAY
If you’re interested in becoming a Stroke & Turn judge, please attend the special training clinic this Saturday, May 9, at 9:00 am at the Los Paseos Clubhouse. The session usually lasts until around noon. For more information, contact Nancy Keslin.
PENGUIN MADNESS COMING SOON!
Most of the year, we’re all one big happy penguin family. But at Penguin Madness, swimmers from all age groups are grouped into different penguin teams to compete in fun non-swimming events like tug-of-war and musical chairs to see who has the most penguin power. This year Penguin Madness will be on Friday, May 22 from 6:00-8:00 pm (there are no regular practices on that day). If your child plans to participate, please reply to this email ASAP.
