Dear Penguins and Parents:
Congratulations on another victory! LPAC defeated Silver Creek on Saturday by a score of 120.96 to 102.36. Let’s keep up the momentum this weekend against Montevideo!
MORE BROKEN RECORDS
We’ll have a brand-new name added to the LPAC record board this year: speedy six-year old Sarina Seps went a :21.97 in the 25Y butterfly, breaking Madison Mamola‘s record from 2007. Great job, Sarina! Meanwhile, Daniela Fasan shaved another hundredth of a second off own 11-12 girls 50Y breaststroke record with a time of :34.53. We might see more records fall in the big pool at Gunderson this weekend…stay tuned!
THIS WEEK AT PRACTICE
This is the second week of the Donut Blitz, and attendance has been great so far. The coaches are seeing noticeable improvements as a result, so keep up the good work and keep coming to practice every day!
SWIM-A-THON ON TUESDAY
The Swim-a-Thon fundraiser will be tomorrow (Tuesday, 6/24) during your regular practice time, so be sure to come a little early so you can start swimming right away! It’s a great chance to challenge yourself to swim as many laps as you can while earning money to support the team. The coaches will have goals for each age group. If you meet the goal, you get a ticket to enter in the raffle for fun prizes. You can earn extra tickets by swimming more laps beyond your target.
Download the pledge form from the Swim-a-Thon page on the website. We do need parent volunteers to help count laps, so please plan to stay during your child’s practice time to help out if you can.
PHOTO MAKE-UPS ON WEDNESDAY
If your child missed picture day last week, come to the pool on Wednesday (6/25) at 8:00 pm to take makeup individual photos. You will still receive a copy of the team photo as well. Remember to bring your checkbook if you plan to order extra prints or buddy photos.
GET THOSE FORMS IN NOW!
Remember, if you want to go rafting, eat at Champs, or show your penguin pride with an ad in the Champs program, you need to turn in those forms and payment THIS WEEK. Download the forms from the website:
SATURDAY’S MEET: @ MONTEVIDEO/GUNDERSON
This Saturday’s meet will be an away meet against the Montevideo Piranhas. Montevideo’s home pool is too small to host meets, so we will be swimming at Gunderson High School (622 Gaundabert Lane). See the Montevideo meet page for a map to Gunderson, which is the big pool you can see from the junction of Highways 85 and 87. We don’t know the LPAC swimmer check-in time yet but will let you know by Friday.
PENGUIN BRIEF #6
Coach Ryan has penned another Penguin Brief, about how every race can be a learning experience. You can read the article on the Penguin Briefs page of the website.
