Our Community Book is Here

We have many new Penguins and the Older ones have grown more than just inches over the past two years being away from each other. So we are building an Online Community Book that represents each family in LPAC. Yes the coaches will have a page to show too. More details to come on Monday, but if you want to get started or just take a look, here is the link.

Week #3 Starts Today!

Time Trials are done!
(Gee that was quick)

Great job with Time Trials Swimmers and Parents. See Time Trial Results here. Our New Families (18 new families, if you are counting) all made it through the process, with their swimmers swimming and parents volunteering! It sure did seem like everything was new, because we have not done this in 2 years. Next week will run even better. It will be our first ever Virtual Meet.

Happenings this week?

We will be getting ready for our first Virtual Meet featuring:

• Fly, IM & Free
• Medley & Free Relays

So the focus this week will be ButterFly and Freestyle.

New Practice Times:

High Schoolers will all swim together beginning at 6:30 AM. And everyone gets more time in the pool!

Effective TODAY June 21, New Practice Times will be:

• 6:30 – 7:30 am: All High School Swimmers
• 7:30 – 8:15 am: 13 -14
• 8:15 – 9:00 am: 11 – 12
• 9:00  – 9:40 am: 8 – 10
• 9:40 – 10:20 am: 5 – 7

*Be on time and ready to swim, restrooms are not available.*

The Basics of a Virtual Meet:

At a Virtual Meet each team swims at its own home pool, and the data is shared between the competing teams after the meet. The final results are tabulated and will be presented on Monday, so we do not know which team wins until two days later. . . anticipation (can you hear that song?).  We are adding a bit more fun to this event for our swimmers and here are a few more details:

1. Ribbons will be awarded for performance within our own LPAC Team, meaning a 1st place ribbon may not correlate with your swimmer’s performance across the league results.
2. We will NOT be acknowledging LPAC Team Records as official.

Time Trials Are Here!

News from Coach Scott:

Starting Monday, we’ll be making changes to our practice schedule. We are shuffling things around to get the high schoolers back together, give a little more pool time to all swimmers and still keep the practice groups at a safe and manageable size.
Effective June 21, New Practice Times will be:

• 6:30 – 7:30 am: All High School Swimmers
• 7:30 – 8:15 am: 13 -14
