Important Practice Group Updates & Reminders

June 7th

Dear Otter Families,

We’re excited to kick off another great season with you all as we head into the 2025 Orchard View Summer Swim Season! We’re looking forward to a summer full of hard work, great team spirit, and lots of fun in the pool.

🆕 Important Practice Group Changes:

To help better align swimmers with the numbers we have registered, we’ve made a few key updates to our practice groups this season:

  • 9U is now 10U: This group will include any swimmers 10 and under.
  • 10–12 is now 11–13: This group will include 11–12 year olds and any 13 year olds.
  • 13U is now 14U: This group will include any swimmers aged 14 and up.

    • We may make some adjustments within the groups during the first week of practice based on skills, attendance, and other factors like weather, so we appreciate your flexibility as we get started.

    📌 A Few Important Reminders:

    • Family Drink Donations – Please remember to bring in your family’s drink donation during the first week of practice.

    • Meet Attendance Declarations – You must declare whether your swimmer /diver will or will not attend every meet, including Time Trials. Coach Kushner uses these declarations to create accurate swim lineups.

    • Volunteer Sign-Ups – Don’t forget to sign up for volunteer positions for each meet. Our meets run smoothly because of your help!

    • Snack Stand Donations – Please check the sign-up for snack stand contributions to support our team and fundraising efforts.

    We can’t wait to see everyone on deck and are looking forward to a fantastic summer! 

    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Let’s have a great season, Otters!
