Otters Summer Recreational Swim Team

The Arden Hills Otters is a recreational swim team that operates at The Arden Hills Resort Club and Spa. The Otters season runs from April until the end of July. The team competes in the Nor-Cal Swim League. The Nor-cal Swim League has 24 teams that compete against each other in 4 different conferences.

The season begins with Swim Team Registration Night which is scheduled in the month of February every year in one of the resort’s banquet rooms. This is a great opportunity to have any questions or concerns addressed with Head Coach Shawn Robin. The first day of practice will begin April 1 each year. Practice times will be available at Registration Night.

The Otters Summer recreational swim team is a highlight of our swimming program each summer and a favorite among parents. The focus is team oriented with an emphasis on fun. Many facilities enjoy making an outing of the 5 to 10 meets on the schedule (most on Saturday mornings) throughout the months of June and July. Practices run from mid-April through the end of July. Swimmers from the ages of 5 to 18 practice and compete in four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, butter fly and breast stroke). Interested participants must be proficient in at least two strokes. A qualified and knowledgeable coaching staff leads workouts after school in the spring and in the mornings all summer. The season culminates with a championship meet where several area teams compete for top team honors. While swimmers work towards best times the goal is to develop race strategies and foster a love for competition in swimming.

The Otters are family oriented with many of the events and activities being designed for families. Whether it is the family water park trip, a River Cats Baseball outing, Team BBQ, Team Ice Cream Social, Adult Social or just enjoying the exciting swim meets, there is something everyone. Don’t let this exciting way to spend your summer go on without you.
