Seahorse families,

We hope everyone had fun at the meet this morning! Reminder to declare for Wednesday night’s meet at Meadow by tonight and that morning practices (and EBMUD roadwork/closures on St. Mary’s Rd) start on Monday. And now for an update on upcoming socials and the Battle of the Ages Invitational:

We don’t want you to miss our two summer team outings! We still have space available for both the Giants game on June 27 and the Wave Waterpark day on July 19, but the deadline to register is Tuesday! Please add your name to the Google Form and Venmo @LTSTtreasurer by Tuesday June 4 to secure your spot!

Our age group socials kick off this week with the 6&U social on Tuesday, June 4 from 4pm to 5:30pm.

We've also confirmed details for our annual Moms and Dads Night Out events AND are bringing back the Backyard Rumble Sunday morning strength workout classes on the pool deck for any interested parents! All event details are below.

Seahorse Moms Night IN - Friday, June 21, 5:30pm @ 725 Los Palos Dr - $30 pp

This year we are switching up the format for Seahorse moms night and instead of hitting the town, we'll be gathering at the Lupardus house for an evening of wine, light bites, and fun on Friday, June 21. Your ticket covers drinks and snacks and we will challenge everyone's taste buds with a blind tasting / competition, led by our very own Seahorse Sommelier, Colleen Mahoney. Festivities start at 5:30pm; street parking is available but bike riding is encouraged; the Lupardus home is about a quarter mile north of Las Trampas on the trail. To register, please send $30 to @LTSTtreasurer and write "moms night" in the notes.

Seahorse Dads Night Out - Friday, June 28, 6pm @ Canyon Club Brewery - $40 pp

Come join your fellow Las Trampas Swim Team Dads for beers, appetizers, and good times at our favorite local brewery. We've got tables reserved outside and your $40 ticket will get you food and a limited number of drink tickets (you can purchase your own once we run out)! Please feel free to car pool or even ride your bikes up to Moraga. To register, please send $40 to @LTSTtreasurer and write "dads night" in the notes.

Las Trampas Rumble - Sundays: June 23 (tentative), July 14 and August 11 @ 9am at LT - $30 per class

Grab a friend and join this bootcamp-style workout hosted by our Burton Valley neighbor, Danielle Freda. The locally famous Rumble backyard boot camps are designed to build strength and muscle tone, endurance, functional movement, and overall mobility. They are high energy and FUN, and our Seahorse moms had an awesome time at these classes last year. Don't forget to bring a water bottle and towel. To register, sign up here and Venmo $30 per class to @LTSTtreasurer and write "Rumble" in the notes.

BATTLE OF THE AGES - June 29 & June 30

Signup is open for Battle of the Ages! Battle of the Ages is a 2-day invitational meet hosted by the Pleasant Hill Dolfins on June 29 and 30. At this meet, swimmers compete against other swimmers of their OWN AGE - for example, 11 year-olds swim only against 11 year-olds. 12 year-olds swim only against 12 year-olds. It's a particularly fun meet for swimmers who are in their "down" year. As with other invitational meets, you may choose your swimmer's events. Please read all the details on the website calendar.

There are entry fees associated with this invitational meet. Families are responsible for $10 per swimmer, and LT will pick up the remaining balance. Your card will be charged once entries are finalized. There are no refunds. The deadline to enter the meet is June 14 at 5:00 PM. Also note that participating families will be asked to work a short timing shift at the meet.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you at the pool!
