Dear Penguins and Parents:
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:
Practices start on Monday, May 1st. Age range practice groups are listed below.
- 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
TEAM SUIT SIZING EVENT:
If you would like your swimmer try on suits, please come to the pool early and plan to have your swimmer try on suits BEFORE they get in the water. It is much more difficult to try on suits after a swimmer is wet.
New Date: Monday, May 1st
New Time: 5-6:30pm
Where: Los Paseos Pool
DEADLINE EXTENDED:
If you would like to order a team suit, use the 2023 LPAC Team Suit Order Form. Orders must be placed by May 1, 2023 to have your suit in time for the first swim meet. Swimmers who choose not to purchase a team swim suit must have a solid black suit to use for team picture day and meets. If you have any questions about team suits, please contact Judy Seps at judyseps@yahoo.com.

MERCHANDISE:
2023 LPAC Merchandise is available now! We have T-shirts, Parkas, sweats and lots of other goodies to show your LPAC pride and keep your swimmers fashionably warm!
