Dear Penguins and Parents:
Hope you’re enjoying this lovely Memorial Day Weekend! Thanks to everyone for pitching in at Time Trials on Saturday. This week we have only a few days to get ready for Almaden on Saturday!
MEMORIAL DAY SWIM CLINIC: MONDAY, MAY 28
There are no regular team practices tomorrow (Monday, May 28), but swimmers are invited to attend an optional Swim Clinic in the morning from 9:00 to 10:30 am. The coaches will be working with small groups of kids on diving from the blocks, backstroke starts, pulldowns, and all types of turns. Swimmers who want to work on any of these skills are welcome to attend. Swimmers do not need to stay the whole time; they are welcome to drop in at any time and leave whenever they’d like.
TIME TRIALS MAKE-UP DAY: TUESDAY, MAY 29
Swimmers who did not attend Time Trials on Saturday or missed any of their events MUST come to Make-Up Day on Tuesday, May 29 at 6:00 pm. Parents are expected to stay and volunteer as timers and recorders. Please arrive on time! Please note there will be no regular night practices on Tuesday. If you swam all your events at Time Trials, you get the night off!
PRACTICE TIMES CHANGE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 30
After Memorial Day, the pool is open to its members until 6:00 pm. This means that we have to compress our swim practices for two weeks until MHUSD schools are out (May 30 through June 8). Starting on Wednesday, May 30, please note the different times and age groups:
- 10 & under: 6:00–7:00 pm
- 11-13: 7:00–8:00 pm
- 14-18: 8:00–9:00 pm
WILL YOU BE AT THE MEET ON JUNE 2?
Our first dual meet of the season is at home this Saturday (6/2) against the Almaden Gators. If your child will have to miss all or part of the meet, please send email to coaches@swimlpac.org and volunteers@swimlpac.org by Monday at the latest. The families we already know will be missing are: Morales-Seymour, Seps, Vaidyanath, Vuniwai, Wensmann.
Volunteer signups will open on SignUp Genius at 9:00 am Monday morning.
