Hey Otter Families!

Our first official meet is in the books, and it was a W-I-N for the Otters against Lehigh! 🎉🐾

Even with a little rain (okay, A LOT of rain, thunder, and yes, even lightning), everyone swam their hearts out and kept the energy high all night long. We’re SO proud of our swimmers, coaches, volunteers, and families for making it a meet to remember. Way to kick off the season with strength, spirit, and smiles!

🏅 But we’re not done yet…

The diving portion of the meet was postponed due to weather, but our amazing divers will still have a chance to shine and represent OV in a make-up dive meet. More details to come! Once diving is complete, we’ll be awarding all the ribbons when Lehigh provides them. So divers... stay tuned!
