Good Morning,

There is a lot of information in this email, please read it carefully.  As the season comes to an end we have a lot of events, and information about Champs coming out.

We had another great meet. Thank you to all of the volunteers and those that did double shifts! We couldn’t have run it without you! Final score was LPAC 106.8 and OAK 99.6 All times are uploaded onto Swimtopia.

Thank you to Tina, Sogol, and Carrie for putting together a wonderful taco party night. We had free swim, taco bar, a dessert contest, hula hooping, limbo, and a watermelon eating contest. Lots of fun was had by all.

The lost and found is overflowing with towels, googles, shirts, etc! Please stop by and find your items.

Please RSVP and volunteer for the meet on June 29th by Tuesday, June 25th. Everything is open! This will be a meet at home vs Los Paseos.

All photos submitted must be in high resolution for best quality. While you may not choose to buy a program at Champs, I still strongly encourage you to make an ad. The kids will borrow their friend's program and they all gravitate to see what is written, so, let’s show our swimmers how proud we are of them. To participate, please send me an email ([email protected]) with a short message and/or a photo (jpeg format in high resolution). I will do the formatting of the pages.

The deadline to submit an ad is Monday, July 1, 2024. If you have any other questions, please email me directly at [email protected]
