What an incredible way to wrap up the Orland Otters' 80th season! 💙🦦

Last night, we celebrated an amazing summer at our Awards Banquet, recognizing our NVAL Champions presenting our greatly coveted Spirit Award with our 80s theme, honoring individual athlete improvements and determination in each age group, and celebrating our Lap Club achievers from the Otter O-Thon fundraiser.

The evening was filled with great food, wonderful memories, and a family pool party to cap off an unforgettable season.

A huge THANK YOU to the Knight family for generously cooking dinner for our 160+ Otter family members! Your time and generosity helped make the evening so special. 🙌🏾

To our swimmers, families, coaches, volunteers, sponsors (all 52 of you incredible businesses who make our season possible year after year), and supporters—thank you for making our 80th season one to remember. We are already counting down the days until we're back on the pool deck! The swim families also elected our new 2027 season board:

President: Amy Raymondo
Vice President: Shayla Galvan
Treasurer: Patsy Hopkins
Secretary: Ruby Neumann
NVAL Rep: Lisa Reimers
Member at Large #1: Erin Knight
Member at Large #2: Katelyn Lemmon

We'll see you next summer! Sign-ups open in May 2027. 💙💛

🌙🥩 'Twas the Night Before the Meet... Sponsor Shout-Out! 🏊‍♀️🦦

🎶 'Twas the night before our meet, and all through Orland, the Otters were totally pumped because racing is COOL!

Caps and goggles were packed with the greatest of care, knowing race day excitement soon would be there.

🎵 Neon was glowing, leg warmers in sight,
Tomorrow we'll race with all of our might!

Before we rewind to the totally tubular 80s, we'd like to give a groovy shout out to one of our amazing gold sponsors: Andy's Butcher Block 🥓

Thank you for helping make our 80th Anniversary "Splash from the Past" Otter Invitational possible. Your generous support means the world to our team and helps create an unforgettable weekend for our swimmers and families.
