Team breakfast on July 10th!
Beach trip reservations now open
There is a small bus this year, with limited space - so make your reservations now.
Message from Coach Erik Taubeneck:
"Hello swimmers and parents. I have set up a site for team members to help streamline the meet availability lists. The site is hosted on ning.com, which offers free social networks. All registered members of the team should have received an invite by e-mail. The network is completely private and only invited members will be able to see any information on the site. Along with meet availability, the site will offer a unique place for team members and parents to share pictures and comments from team events. I encourage everyone to take a minute to sign up for membership. Thank you and I look forward to starting morning practice and continuing a great season!"
Congratulations!
Congratulations to the 11-12 boys medley relay team: Alex Baker, Ethan Taswell, David Hogan, and Andrew Schaengold who won their event at last Sunday's division relay carnival and will be going to All-Star Relays!

Pep Rally: There will be no usual Friday-night pep rally because of the 4th. Come for cheering during the pool picnic.
And there is no practice on Friday due to the holiday.
A meet
This Saturday's A meet will be at Inverness Forest (directions). Warm-ups for LF swimmers will begin at 8:30 a.m. The meet will begin at 9 a.m. Please check in at the LF parking lot at 7:40 a.m.and remember to keep the noise down!
Please indicate your swimmer's availability one of three ways: either respond directly to Coach Erik at erik.taubeneck@gmail.com, sign the availability checklist at the pool, or respond to the special network web site that Erik created. Contact Coach Erik with questions. This must be done by midnight Tuesday. It also is useful to know if your swimmer is NOT available, so please respond either way. (Do not respond to this email. Write directly to Coach Erik.) If you have agreed to be available, then you must check the list of entries on Friday to see if you are on it. The list will be posted at the pool. You will not be called. Please do not offer to swim unless you are certain to show up -- your commitment is very important, and really makes a difference!
Parking restrictions
For home meets, you cannot park in the pool parking lot or on any street. Your only alternatives are either to walk to the pool or to park in the Westbrook parking lot and walk from there. This is the County requirement - so please obey it. Violators are subject to LFSC penalties.
If you are carrying heavy equipment or have a disability, please contact Carol Hearle (team@littlefallspenguins.com) or Susan Hammond (team2@littlefallspenguins.com) and you can get a parking pass for the lot.
Noise
Please be considerate of the neighbors and the zoning requirements that the pool operates under. Keep all noise to an absolute minimum on Saturday mornings before 9am, and be considerate after that time. At no time are electronic noises allowed - boomboxes, microphones, loud car radios, etc.)
