You can also search @champsgrp1, @champsgrp2, or @champsgrp3 in the Remind app to join. More groups will be added if needed.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic weekend of swimming, cheering, and team spirit! Let’s show up big and support all of our amazing OV swimmers.

See you at CHAMPS! 🦦

Go Otters!
