MINI-MEET In late November or early December This is for for all swimmers but mostly it's a great chance to see what it's like to race and test the skills you've been working on. Older kids can help out with timing and have a few races themselves.

WELCOME BACK FROM THE HEAD COACH

I'd like to welcome everyone back from the summer break.

I know that I'm excited to get back at it and I know the swimmers are too. We had a great Mini-Camp and most of the participants have shown interest in becoming part of the team. A big thank you to Fergus Hobson for his help!

Our three older boys from last season are now off to university and from all reports are having a great time learning ins and outs of higher education- studying very hard, not going to parties and making sure their parents have nothing to worry about. And some swimming too.

We'll be back in the water soon and we all know what that means. Our coaching staff is evolving as always. Athena Leblanc Naziel and Kye Mcinnis are back with us and we have a few newcomers on board.

Welcome to our Otters website!!

The website is currently in the process of a long overdue content update.

Swim through the site, from front to back, in order to see scheduling, up and coming events, Scheduling and much more.

OFFICIALS CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

HOME SANCTIONED SWIM MEET OFFICIALS CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

In the last few years Swim BC has changed many time standards for swimmers in various age groups and the number of qualifying events necessary to attend provincial championships. There is a requirement of hosting a sanctioned swim meet applied to all clubs. Swim B.C.'s requirements are that all volunteers on deck acting in official positions during a sanctioned swim meet must be registered and have completed a small online read and online quiz to certify themselves. Examples of official positions are timers, stroke and turn, marshalling, chief timer, starter, or meet manager. For those of you who participated in last years' swim meet in officials positions, you will registered and signed off as certified. However, please review the positions online through Swim BC.

To run this event, we will need the commitment of about 20 people. Please forward your name to Chris DeYoung as soon as possible to let him know that you would like to volunuteer.
