Week of (7/1) participate in the Dive Clinic, and reminders for Champs too

LPAC Penguins swim faster than sharks! Score: LPAC 107.2  vs SVCC 105.3

It was a very close swim meet, but we were still able to pull off the win with lots of hard work.

This week the coaches will be working on Freestyle Focus Points at practice. This is just another way to help each penguin gain some speed! There is also an optional Dive Clinic on Friday morning. Details listed below.

For those of you rafting on the weekend, be safe and have lots of fun! Who will be the King of the River?
