We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the pool tonight! Just a few reminders as we start our first week of the swim team season:

  • Practices start today (Monday, April 30), with age group times as follows:
    • New swimmers only: 5:00-5:30 pm
    • 8 & under: 5:30-6:15 pm
    • 9-11: 6:15-7:00 pm
    • 12-14: 7:00-8:00 pm
    • High school: 8:00-9:00 pm
  • Suits and merchandise will be sold at the first two days of practice (on Monday, April 30 and Tuesday, May 1). Please plan to come before your regular practice time to try on suits and merchandise. (It’s much easier to do that before the kids get wet.) And don’t forget your checkbook! All swimmers are required to have a team suit or a plain black suit for meets and Picture Day.
  • Celebrate the start of the swim team season and catch up with other penguin families at the Pancake Breakfast this Saturday, May 5 from 8:30 to 10:00 am in the Clubhouse. The cost is just $5 for a hearty pancake breakfast, and all proceeds benefit LPAC. You do not need to RSVP for this event, but we could use some volunteers to help with setup, cooking, and cleanup. Please contact Tabby Vaidyanath (408-578-8319) if you’re able to help.
  • If you are interested in being a Stroke and Turn Judge this year, plan to attend the Stroke & Turn Judging Clinic on Sunday, May 6 at the Montevideo Clubhouse at 1:00 pm.
  • Penguin Madness is on Friday, May 18 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. We will have a signup sheet posted at the pool later this week where kids can sign up if they are planning to attend. You do not need to send email at this time.
  • You should be receiving separate emails from the Volunteer Coordinators about signing up for jobs at meets. If you have not received any yet, please send email with your contact information to volunteers@swimlpac.org. Remember that in addition to your regular shifts at meets, this year we are requiring every family to sign up for at least one clean-up shift after a home meet.
  • Just a reminder: If you need to relay any specific information to the coaches, please send email to coaches@swimlpac.org.
  • If you have any questions about special events or general team information, you can send email to info@swimlpac.org.

Dust off those caps and goggles, and we’ll see you all very soon!
