Welcome to the Stratford Mini Otters Season!

Dear Stratford Mini Otter Families,

We are excited to start the Mini Otter’s swim season!

Our schedule is posted on the team website under the Mini Otters section. I had some trouble locating it myself, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew where to find the information. If you are still unable to locate it, please let me know.

Originally, Tuesday was listed as our first day of the season because LCPS schools were scheduled to have their last day on Monday. That schedule changed this spring, and unfortunately, I missed updating the Mini Otter information. As a result, our first Mini Otter practice will be this Monday at 10:00 AM.

Our first practice will focus on swimmer assessments so that we can place each child into groups. I do my best to keep swimmers grouped with children of similar ages and abilities whenever possible.

I will send a follow-up email on Monday afternoon or evening with your child's group assignment and practice time. If your swimmer cannot attend Monday's assessment, don't worry—we can complete it when they return. Please arrive about 15 minutes before the Mini Otter program begins, and I will make sure a coach is available to assess your child.

Tuesday will be our first day practicing in assigned groups.

Our regular Mini Otter practice schedule will be:

Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays

As always, please feel free to text me with any questions. I do my best to stay on top of emails, but during the season I can sometimes get behind.

Thank you, and we look forward to a fun and successful season!

Sincerely,

Meka Nadeau
Sea Otter Team Representative 🦦
