Dear LPAC Penguins and Parents:

Hope everyone has had a nice “winter” break!

Here are just a few items of business as we start heading into the summer swim season:

• 2018 registration forms are attached to this email and will also be posted to the team website (swimlpac.org).
• Note that forms and payment are due on March 10. Please be sure to mail in your forms or drop them off at the clubhouse by this date to hold your child’s spot on the team.
• If you have a new sibling who will be trying out for the team this year, you can include them on these registration forms (you do not have to sign up in person at Walk-In Registration).
• If your child is not planning to return to LPAC for any reason, please reply to this email.
• If you have any friends or neighbors who are interested in joining the swim team, please tell them to send email to info@swimlpac.org and plan to come to Walk-In Registration on Saturday, March 24.
• The season calendar has been updated on the website. Practices will begin on April 30, and the Banquet will be on July 15.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Dear Penguins and Parents:

Thanks to all for a great swim season! 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 2017 video here: LPAC-2017-Final.mp4. Thanks again to the video team for making this available to all!
• Nancy Keslin received a letter at the banquet and would like to follow up but needs more information. Please email her directly at nkeslin@yahoo.com.
• If your kids love swimming and are sad the season is over, maybe they should give year-round swimming a try! We’re lucky to live close to several good teams that offer flexible programs and schedules. See the Year-Round Swimming page on the team website for more information. You can 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!

This is it — the last Friday reminder email of the swim season!

CHAMPS CHECK-IN: 6:40 AM

Remember: swimmers need to check in tomorrow no later than 6:40 am at the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center (16200 Condit Road). Meet entries and volunteer assignments have been posted to 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. You can pick up your Snack Bar or Mr. Pickle meal tickets when you check in.

We encourage you to purchase a program, food, and t-shirts — all proceeds help our team and the league pay for Champs!

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. We look forward to getting all the penguins back together one last time to hand out trophies and celebrate another great season!

SPIRIT NIGHT THANKS

Special thanks to Judy Seps, Coach Ryan, Sergio and Heather Castro, and Carl Anderson for working together all season long to put together the great team video! If you didn’t get to see it or want to keep a copy for yourself, we’ll make a link available to download…stay tuned for more details.
