Dear Otter Families,

As promised… here comes Email #2 of the day! 📬 This one is packed with SAVE THE DATES, so grab your calendars and get ready. We’ve got a whole wave of fun headed your way!

🏠 Thursday, July 10 – Our Last Home Meet + SENIOR NIGHT! 🎓

Let’s pack the pool deck with Otter spirit as we host our final home meet of the season against Stones Crossing!

This isn’t just any meet. It’s Senior Night, a special evening where we honor our graduating Otters for their commitment, sportsmanship, and all the amazing memories they’ve created during their time on the team.

Help us send them off in true Otter fashion: with cheers, love, and a whole lot of spirit. Don’t forget to bring your voices and your tissues... This one’s always a heart-warmer. ❤️

🏊🏼♀️ Friday, July 11 – Bring Your Parent to Practice Day 🏊🏽♂️

It’s the tradition you’ve heard whispers about… now it’s officially on the calendar!

Parents, your Otters are ready to show you what they’ve got and just how much work they put in at practice.

Stretch out, suit up, and hydrate because on July 11th, it’s YOUR turn in the water.

Are you faster than a 10-year-old in flippers? Only one way to find out. 😄

🍭 Saturday Morning, July 12 – Mini-Meet (CANDYLAND THEME!)

It’s sweet. It’s fun. It’s fast. It’s the Mini-Meet, a non-DQ meet for our 10 & Under Otters hosted right here at Orchard View! We've invited all the other teams in the ABE League and some even outside of the league. This event is looking sweeter than a gumdrop tower on a chocolate river! 🍫

📧 A separate email will go out to 10 & Under families soon, and will include registrations and events.  Stay tuned!

We need ALL the help we can get – snack bar donations, volunteer shifts, and more. If you have a swimmer swimming in the mini-meet, please consider helping out. Parent's of an older otter, we'll take your help too. It truly takes a Candyland, (aka village) to put on an event like this.

🧁 Older Otters, we need you too! Help organize swimmers, run the ready tent, time races, and more.

This is your chance to show what being an Otter is all about.

🦆 Wednesday, July 16 – Wacky Quacky Duck Practice

You’ve never swum a practice quite like this before…

Rubber ducks will be involved. Wacky games. Surprise challenges. And possibly some questionable duck choices.

🎽 Bonus: Come in your wackiest, quackiest swimwear, goggles, or cap. Let’s see what you’ve got!

🎉 Thursday, July 17 – End of Season Team Party

We’ll celebrate a season well swum together at the Orchard View pool. Festivities begin around 5 PM. Stay tuned for more info. You won’t want to miss it!

👑 Monday, July 21 – KING OF THE HILL

Who will rise to the top and earn the crown of Otter royalty? One of the most fun (and fierce!) events of the season. Get ready to race your way to the throne!

We know that’s a LOT of info, and we’ll keep sending updates as each event gets closer. But for now: MARK THOSE CALENDARS and get ready for some serious summer fun!

Your Calendar Coordinator-In-Chief,

Jessie
