Happy Friday! Here are a few quick reminders before our first dual meet tomorrow:

• Any swimmers leaving the meet early MUST check out with the coaches first.
• Steve and Rachel DeSantis usually do the announcing at home meets but will be out of town this weekend. If you’re comfortable behind a microphone and/or always dreamed of being a DJ, we could really use your help! If you’re interested, please send email to volunteers@swimlpac.org or call Christy Buchanan at 408-644-2151.
• Compressed practices continue tonight and all of next week. Please note that the practice age groups are slightly different than were originally printed on the season schedule handout.

See you all bright and early Saturday morning…GO PENGUINS!

Dear Penguins and Parents:

Hope you’re enjoying this lovely Memorial Day Weekend! Thanks to everyone for pitching in at Time Trials on Saturday. This week we have only a few days to get ready for Almaden on Saturday!

MEMORIAL DAY SWIM CLINIC: MONDAY, MAY 28

There are no regular team practices tomorrow (Monday, May 28), but swimmers are invited to attend an optional Swim Clinic in the morning from 9:00 to 10:30 am. The coaches will be working with small groups of kids on diving from the blocks, backstroke starts, pulldowns, and all types of turns. Swimmers who want to work on any of these skills are welcome to attend. Swimmers do not need to stay the whole time; they are welcome to drop in at any time and leave whenever they’d like.

TIME TRIALS MAKE-UP DAY: TUESDAY, MAY 29

Swimmers who did not attend Time Trials on Saturday or missed any of their events MUST come to Make-Up Day on Tuesday, May 29 at 6:00 pm. Parents are expected to stay and volunteer as timers and recorders. Please arrive on time! Please note there will be no regular night practices on Tuesday. If you swam all your events at Time Trials, you get the night off!

PRACTICE TIMES CHANGE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 30

After Memorial Day, the pool is open to its members until 6:00 pm. This means that we have to compress our swim practices for two weeks until MHUSD schools are out (May 30 through June 8). Starting on Wednesday, May 30, please note the different times and age groups:

• 10 & under: 6:00–7:00 pm
• 11-13: 7:00–8:00 pm
• 14-18: 8:00–9:00 pm
