Dear Penguins and Parents:

Thanks to all for another great swim season and banquet! Just a few end-of-season things:

• If you did not attend the Banquet, you can pick up your trophies and ribbons at Coach Scott’s house. Please send email to info@swimlpac.org to arrange a time. After this week, they’ll go back into the container until next season.
• For a limited time, you can view or download the 2018 video here: LPAC 2018 Team Video. Thanks again to the video team for making this available to all!
• Thinking about swimming year-round? Coach Ryan has extended an invitation for any and all penguins to join him at South Valley Stingrays (just up the road at Rancho Santa Teresa), and you can try it out any time for a week at no charge. There are also other excellent teams in the area that offer flexible programs; see the Year-Round Swimming page on the team website for more information. You can also send mail to coaches@swimlpac.org or talk to any of the year-round swim families to discuss which program might work best for you.

Enjoy the rest of your summer…GO PENGUINS!

Well, that sure went quick. This is already the last Friday email of the swim season!

CHAMPS CHECK-IN: 7:00 AM

Remember: swimmers need to check in tomorrow no later than 7:00 am at the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center (16200 Condit Road). Meet entries and volunteer assignments have been posted to the Champs page of the website.

Please leave plenty of time to drive to Morgan Hill, park, and locate the check-in table in our designated team area. LPAC will be in the same location as last year, in the middle of the grassy area at the warmup end of the pool (see map posted to the Champs page of the website). Gates will not open until 6:15 am, so please do not arrive before then.

If your child is ill, please call or text Coach Scott at 408-613-5126.

Parents, please check in at the volunteer table and be sure to listen for announcement and shift changes. Because we are only running 9 lanes this year instead of 10, the meet will probably run a little longer than usual. We need everyone’s help to make shift changes as quick and smooth as possible. Please arrive early for your shift and do not leave your volunteer post until your replacement arrives.

If you pre-ordered Snack Bar or Mr. Pickle meals, you can pick up your tickets when you check in with the Volunteer Coordinators. We encourage you to purchase a program, food, and t-shirts — all proceeds help our team and the league pay for Champs!

One final reminder: do not leave the meet early without checking out with the coaches. We may need your swimmer to sub on a relay.

SPAGHETTI DINNER TONIGHT FOR TEENAGERS

The Spaghetti Dinner (for all swimmers ages 13-18) is tonight at the clubhouse from 6-7 pm; the cost is $8 per swimmer. Thank you to the Blacow family for coordinating this event, and to all the parents who volunteered to bring food and help out. Don’t forget to bring your cars if you want them decorated for Champs!

BANQUET ON SUNDAY

The LPAC Team Awards Banquet will be on Sunday starting at 4:30 pm. Remember to bring your own folding chairs, EZ-Ups, or blankets to sit on. We look forward to getting everyone together one last time to hand out trophies and celebrate another great season!

SPIRIT NIGHT THANKS

Special thanks to Adrienne Burke for coordinating the Swim-a-Thon and other fun raffle prizes and to Sergio and Heather Castro, Carl and Jennie Anderson, Judy Seps, Rob Lombardi, and Coach Ryan for working together all season long to put together the great team video! We’ll share a link in an upcoming email in case you missed the show.

GO PENGUINS!
