Just a few last-minute reminders before tomorrow:

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.

Please leave plenty of time to drive to Morgan Hill, find parking, 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 (see map posted to the Champs page of the website). LPAC warm-ups will be in the warm-up/cool-down lanes closest to our team area. 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.

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

GO PENGUINS!

We’re getting very close to the finish line now! Just a few quick reminders/updates as we head into the last few days of the swim season:

SPIRIT NIGHT TONIGHT

Don’t forget to come to Spirit Night TONIGHT (Thursday 7/16) from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. All penguins and parents are welcome (and expected) to attend!

DVDs FOR SALE

The Doutt family has prepared another great slideshow/video to celebrate the 2015 LPAC season. If you’re interested in purchasing a DVD, the cost is $20. Please contact Melinda Doutt (mdoutt@gmail.com) or talk to her tonight to order a copy. Thank you Mark and Melinda for all your hard work!

SPAGHETTI DINNER ON FRIDAY

All swimmers ages 13-18 are invited to come carbo-load and decorate cars at the clubhouse on Friday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Please bring $7 per person.

CHAMPS CHECK-IN: 6:40 AM

Swimmer check-in on Saturday will be at 6:40 am at the Morgan Hill Aquatic Center (16200 Condit Road). Champs can be very chaotic, and we have first shift warmups this year, so please be on time! We estimate the meet will end around 4:30 pm, so prepare for a long day.

Parking is going to be very tight this year, as there is a circus going on at the soccer complex next door. And no, we’re not speaking metaphorically…it’s an actual CIRCUS! Please be prepared to carpool and to park in the dirt lot. We will share lots more information about Champs tonight at the parent meeting during Spirit Night.

Meet entries have been posted to the website, so check the Champs meet page so you know what you’ll be swimming.

VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS FOR CHAMPS

Updated volunteer assignments have also been posted to the Champs meet page; please check so you know your assigned shift(s). If you are going to be working as a marshal, please click on the Champs Map and Marshal Info link so you know where to go and what to do when you get there. (Even if you’re not a marshal, you might want to check the map just so you know where everything will be this year.)

All parents, please be sure to check in at the volunteer table when you arrive at Champs in the morning. You can also pick up your pre-order BBQ and Panera meal tickets there.

Look forward to seeing you all tonight at Spirit Night…GO PENGUINS!!
