Time Trials

May 31, 2025

The first swim meet of the season is “Time Trials,” which is just like a regular meet but without the other team. LPAC swimmers race against their own teammates.

The purpose of time trials is to determine, under “real” race conditions, each swimmer’s time in every event. These times are entered into the computer and used to determine seedings and calculate improvement points at the dual meets.

Attendance at Time Trials is mandatory, and we need parents to volunteer for positions just like at real swim meets. It’s a good chance for swimmers and parents to get warmed up for the start of the season—and a great opportunity for our newest penguins to experience their very first races.

  • Date: Saturday, May 31
  • Location: Los Paseos Pool (7047 Via Ramada, San Jose, CA)
  • Swimmer and parent volunteer check-in: 7:15 am
