Dear Penguins and Parents:
It was great seeing many of you at the Polar Penguin Plunge! We’re looking forward to getting all penguins back in the water for the first day of practice next Monday (4/27), when we are assured the pool will be heated to a more comfortable temperature.
PARENT MEETING ON THURSDAY
The New Parent Meeting is this Thursday, April 23. Returning families are invited to come by the clubhouse at 7:00 pm to pick up handouts and sign up for volunteer shifts. New families should plan to attend the meeting, which will start at 7:30pm. Returning families are welcome (but not required) to stay as well.
PENGUIN SWAP ALSO ON THURSDAY
If you have LPAC swim suits, shirts, or sweats that your kids have outgrown but are still in good condition, bring them to the parent meeting on Thursday. We’ll have a table set out for the “Penguin Swap” so you can pass along your hand-me-downs to the littler penguins! Note that we will be keeping the same black-and-white team suits this year.
2015 COACHING STAFF
Coaches Scott Jackson, Ryan Hussey, and Julia Thompson will all be returning this year, and Nicole Richards and Jaclyn Pereira will be joining the coaching staff. Emily Read has generously offered to help out the first couple of weeks while Julia, Nicole and Jaclyn finish up college classes, and she may continue coaching on a part-time basis depending on her work commitments. We’re looking forward to a great season!
