Hello Otters,

We’ve got a few important updates for the week ahead!

🏊 Breaststroke Clinic – Monday, June 23rd

We’re excited to host a focused breaststroke clinic during practice on Monday, June 23rd. Coach Chris of the Marlins of Raleigh swim team will be working with swimmers to fine-tune technique and build confidence in this stroke. Please make every effort to attend!

✅ Behavior During Practice

As always, please remind your swimmers to show up to practice with a great attitude and respectful behavior. Remind them to be sure they are listening to the coaches/volunteers, no horse playing (splashing each other, dunking each other, etc.) and no sitting/hanging on the ropes. If you see your swimmer doing any of that, feel free to speak to them about it as you see them doing it. There are a lot of small swimmers and it's hard for the coaches to have eyes on all of them all of the time.

📅 RSVP Deadline – Home Swim Meet on June 26th 

If your swimmer plans to participate in the meet on Thursday, June 26th, RSVPs are due by noon on Sunday, June 22nd. This deadline is firm so we can submit the lineup. Don’t miss it!

🙋 Hosting a Home Meet – Volunteers & Donations Needed

We’re proud to be hosting a home meet on Thursday, June 26th, and we can’t do it without your help! We still have several open volunteer jobs that need to be filled—please check the job sign ups in SwimTopia and pitch in where you can.

We’ll also be sending out a list of concession items for each family to donate. These donations help us raise money for the team. Items can be dropped off at practice during the week of the meet you're assigned to.

Thanks for your continued support - we're proud of how hard your swimmers are working this season.

Go Otters! 🐾💦
