Hello Otter Families!

The wait is over… today is our first day of evening practice! 🎉🦦 We can’t wait to welcome our athletes back to the pool and officially kick off another exciting Otter season!

A few quick reminders before heading to practice tonight:

✅ Bring sneakers
✅ Bring a water bottle
✅ Bring an extra towel
✅ Bring a change of clothes in case you get wet (Sweatshirt and/or pants for divers)
✅ Divers: Please make sure to bring an extra t-shirt!

While today’s temperatures look fantastic, the evening temperatures may cool off a bit. Our goal is to keep the athletes in the water as much as possible, but if conditions become too chilly or create a safety concern, we may shift to dryland or poolside activities. Having sneakers and extra clothes will help keep everyone comfortable and ready for whatever the evening brings.
