Otters Practice Groups

Otters are split into several training groups. These groups often work together, providing mentoring and team-building opportunities. Practice groups are flexible from month to month, but a swimmer should stay in the same practice group over the course of a single month. Junior Otters and Otters are offered at all practice times.

Junior Otters (Register as an Otter)

A practice group designed for new swimmers to teach stroke technique, confidence and to introduce swimmers to the function of a swim team.

Otters

Otters practices range from just beyond Junior Otters level to comfort, form, and confidence in all strokes and races.

Senior Otters

Senior Otters have a more frequent practice schedule and strength training program. Swimmers must be 13 years of age or older in order to participate in Senior Otters.

Attendance Policies

Junior Otters and Otters are invited to attend up to three practices per week at our Midtown and Uptown locations. There is no practice requirement at this level. Please let us know in advance if for some reason the child needs to come to a different practice than the regular time and we will easily accommodate them.

Senior Otters have made a commitment to swimming and are expected at a majority of designated Senior Otters practices. They will communicate with the Head Coach when they are unable to fulfill that commitment.
