Week 3 Wrap Up!

It was wonderful to see so many new and returning swimmers having such a great time at Penguin Madness! Thank you to our LPAC community for participating in this cherished Penguin tradition.

Practices have also been going great. Keep up the good work, as we get ready for Time Trials!

Time Trials is on May 28th!

Time Trials is on Saturday, May 28th!

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 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 dual 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!
