LPAC VOLUNTEER Positions – Respond to coordinators by Tuesday, June 15th
Volunteering is Caring and We Need You!
Hello LPAC Swim Families
LPAC is run by volunteers. Cecie Boston and Jill Hoge are the volunteer coordinators for the year. We thank you for your support. Volunteers are the backbone to this wonderful swim program.
In 2021, we will have two volunteer shifts without the presence of the competing team. Currently, training a new CLERK OF THE COURSE, Starters, Computers and Announcers is a priority. The meet cannot run without them. Please consider these jobs. Computers are not listed on this document but we need people to train. Contact us if you are interested.
Each LPAC family with one swimmer must provide at least one adult volunteer to work at least one shift at each meet. Each family with three or more swimmers must provide at least two volunteer shifts at each meet. Occasionally families will need to volunteer for additional shifts at meets. In addition to working volunteer shifts, each LPAC family will be responsible to clean up at one of our meets. This year, we are trying to PRE-ASSIGN volunteer position shifts and not use sign up genius.
Per our bylaws, families who do not fulfill their parent support obligations will not be in good standing with the club, and their swimmers will not be allowed to return to the team the following year. In addition, a monetary fee may be assessed to compensate for the lack of participation.
Current Meet Schedule: We need a parent to volunteer at EVERY meet your child is swimming. (Mark your calendar)
- June 19, 2021 Time Trials
- June 26, 2021 1st Virtual Meet
- July 10, 2021 2nd Virtual Meet
- July 17, 2021 3rd Virtual Meet
***No Champs This Year***
Please review the list of volunteer jobs we need to fill attached to this email. This rough draft contains the names of those who performed the job in 2019. At the end of the document is a list of names from 2019 of those who were timers, recorders and clean up crew. Returning families have priority for the jobs they had from 2019. If you do not verify your position this week, then your job may go to another family. Look at the website for a list of volunteer job descriptions: https://swimlpac.org/team-info/
PLEASE REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AND COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:
- Find your name on the list & verify you want this position.
- Can’t find your name on the list, then let us know what job you want.
- Every family needs to email or call/text the volunteer coordinators ASAP, or by Tuesday June 15th at the latest. Contact info below: volunteers@swimlpac.org or text / call Jill Hoge at 408-425-1504.
Please include the following information in your email:
- Name of swimmers
- Name of Parents or Guardians volunteering
- What job and shift you want and which parent or guardian is doing the shift. (Name Top three choices. Example: 1st Choice Timer 1st Shift, 2nd choice Recorder 2nd Shift, Third Choice: Snack Bar 2nd Shift)
- What meets, if any, your child is going to miss
- Pick a meet that you want to help clean up at with the name of the parent or guardian that is going to help volunteer to clean up. It goes very quickly when we have a ton of families helping.
Thank you! We appreciate all your help. Please respond ASAP.

LPAC Registration Dates and Other Important Information

New LPAC Shortened Season 2021The LPAC Board is excited to announce we will be holding a shortened, 6-week summer swim season. The Season will begin with morning practices on June 7th, ending by July 18th. Currently meets (possibly 2) will be virtual. Every practice will use current safety protocols, and of course we will include lots of penguin fun. Due to our standard expenses for any length of a season, cost will currently remain the same as last year, pre-pays from last year will be applied. The current price is still a great deal; if we break down the cost by week, then the cost for your first swimmer is $36.67 a week for association members (total of $220) and $40 per week for non-association members (total of $240). Also as is our custom here at LPAC, all of your swimmers beyond the 1st are about $20.00 less for the entire season. BUT remember, you must pay for the entire 6 week season, it is not a pay as you go system. Look for the LPAC Registration Packet on April 1st! (Really, we are not kidding.) — |
