Otters Practice Groups

Otters are split into several training groups. These groups often work together, providing mentoring and team-building opportunities.

Junior Otters

Made for swimmers new to the sport of swimming. Junior Otters focuses on making the introduction to the sport as fun and easy as possible! Practices focus on learning through demonstration, drills and games. Junior Otters progress through skills at a pace they can manage, while building team relationships and understanding of the sport along the way.

Otters

Otters are coached to develop their long-term strength in the sport and activity of swimming. Through aerobic training, detailed work on stroke mechanics, and dryland training, Otters build knowledge of swimming that will last for life. Competition is optional.

Senior Otters

For swimmers in or above eighth grade, the Senior Otters program adds strength training three days a week to their regular swimming routine. To aid in the balance of strengths needed in swimming, Senior Otters have a program that mixes quality circuits, core training, and aerobic activity. In addition, Senior Otters can swim morning practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
