Dear Penguin Posse,

We heard that the LPAC Middle School Age Group had an incredible time at LaserMaxx on Monday. All of the Penguins had so much fun, not only the kids. The Coaches had a great time as well.

We need to thank Lynette Gill for organizing this great community building event for our Middle School Penguins to enjoy. If you would like to set up a fun age group event for your kid’s age group please email info@swimlpac.org.

Here are some quick reminders before our meet against Oaktree tomorrow. With only one month left of LPAC there is going to be a lot of information in these emails. Please read through to find important information. Sign up for the Raft trip. Register for the Overnighter. Find out about Cardboard Boat rules. Be ready to Splash & Dash.

CARDBOARD BOAT RACES: JUNE 28 BEFORE THE OVERNIGHTER

The Penguin Regatta Cardboard Boat Races take place before the Overnighter. Bring your boats to the pool Sportscourt at 5:45pm. All penguins are encouraged to team up with their swim team friends to construct a sea-worthy vessel using only cardboard, duct tape, and paint. Penguins have one week left to construct their Cardboard boats. Instructions for this fun event are on the Cardboard Boat Races page on our website.

Depending on the number of entries, there may be several heats to determine the overall champion. Unofficial prizes will also be awarded for the best boat theme and the most spectacular sink.

Parents are welcome to stay and cheer. Please be prepared to take home the remains of any boats that you bring. There is not enough room in the Los Paseos dumpster for all the soggy shipwrecks!

OVERNIGHTER: ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY JUNE 28, 2025

The annual Overnighter is one of LPAC’s most treasured traditions and a highlight of every swim team season.

Dear Penguin Community,,

We hope that everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend and celebrated all of the wonderful men in our kiddos lives.

Great swimming on Saturday! LPAC got their first win of the season and defeated the Silver Creek Sharks with a score of 109.9(Sharks) to…. (drumroll, please) 123.9(LPAC). Your penguins should be very proud of themselves. Way to Go Penguins!

A great big thank you to all of the parents who were ready to do a parent relay at our meet. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to have a parent relay at our Silver Creek meet. Hopefully next meet we can squeeze one in.
