Dear Penguin Community,

CHAMPS is FAST approaching, this message is to help families prepare. The Valley Cabana Swim League, the league that LPAC is part of, has to pay to use the Morgan Hill Aquatics Center. They have to pay for over 700 ribbons and trophies for the top teams. The two items in this email will help the league with off setting the costs for CHAMPS. Mr. Pickles Sandwich shop gives a percentage of how much they make the day of Champs back to the league and Champ Ads are priced so that the league gets a portion of the proceeds. Help LPAC by purchasing these so that we and all of the other teams do not have to pay the full cost of going to Champs.

~ PRE-ORDER CHAMPS FOOD NOW ~

Champs is a long hot day, and it is nice to have your food planned out. The league has partnered with Mr. Pickles to have a lunch delivered to the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center for CHAMPS attendees.  We must prepay for our Mr. Pickles meals.  Fill out the Mr. Pickles formhere and pre-payment is due by Saturday July 7 to the family file folder box under the treasurer’s folder or via zelle with the email treasurer@swimlpac.org.  

Family file folder boxes are out at every practice and will be out at our meet at Montevideo on Saturday 6/28 at the ribbons table.

Rides:
Swimmers will need to be driven to and from LaserMaxx for this social event.  Please reach out to fellow middle school penguins to arrange carpool groups. If you are able to drive and accommodate rides for other LPAC kids, please reach out to Lynette by June 9 and let her know how many spots you have available!  If we have enough volunteers, Lynette will follow up to offer carpool spots.
An LPAC parent will stay at LaserMaxx during the kids’ two hour play session, all parents are also welcome to stay!  Looking forward to getting our fellow Middle School Penguins together for some summer fun!
Please reach out to Lynette Gill with any questions.

Dear Penguin Community,,

Thank you to everyone that helped Time Trials run smoothly. Our coaches did a great job keeping the meet moving. Thank you to everyone that stayed after the meet to help clean up. It was a hot Saturday. We appreciate everyone that came and worked their shifts. LPAC is the best team! This week we have only a few days to get ready for Almaden on Saturday because there is no regular practice today, Monday, June 2.

Coach Caitlyn’s LPAC friendship bracelets sold out at Time Trials. We still have some special ALS research friendship bracelets. Coach Caitlyn will be making more LPAC bracelets for our next home meet. They will not be for sale at our meet against Almaden. Our next home meet is against Silver Creek on 6/14. Come by the snack shack and help support our team and ALS research on 6/14. 

WILL YOU BE AT THE MEET NEXT SATURDAY, JUNE 7? LPAC @ ALMADEN

• If your child will have to miss all or part of the meet against Almaden, please send an email to coaches@swimlpac.org and volunteers@swimlpac.org TODAY! It really helps the coaches and volunteer coordinators to know ahead of time if you and your swimmer will be at a meet, if possible.
• The swimmers that we already know will be missing this meet are: Zhen Yu L. (maybe), Adam B., Jenin B., Easton A., Brody M., Graham M., Will M., Heath N., Eliana C.,  Elijah C., Grant G., Julian G.

PARENT RELAY TEAM

Please bring your suit and goggles to our upcoming meets.  Many of our opponents enjoy ending meets with a parent or family relay.  Please email info@swimlpac.org if you are interested in participating and Jennie Anderson will approach and confirm you can swim during the meet.  It’s a fun tradition and your Penguin family looks forward to cheering you on.
