Upcoming Events
June 19 All Teams Kickoff BBQ *reminder: no practice*
This is when all members and families of the dive, swim, tennis and water polo teams come together to enjoy an evening of fun and Arb spirit before the season begins. This party happens during Open Swim, so other members will be at the pool too. We will be serving up chicken wings, burgers and dogs with potluck sides. 
Event Timeline:
5:00-5:30pm arrivals (the pool will be open for open swim starting at 12:00pm)
5:45pm Hot Wings – style Coach interviews
6:00pm (or when Coach interviews conclude) Dinner is served!
June 22 First Day of Summer Practice! View the schedule here.
June 23 Mandatory Dive Parent & Coach Meeting
June 26 9:00am Picture Day
Dive team pictures will start around 9am. We’ll do the team photo first, followed by individual/sibling photos. If you are on other teams, swim starts at 8am, and tennis is around 10am after dive finishes. We will need helpers for breakfast, and to help the photographer keep things running smoothly. 
Volunteer here. Photo order link will be available soon.
June 27 9:00am-12:00pm Otter RipFest Mock Meet
New this year! Otter RipFest will give divers, both new and experienced, a great opportunity to practice at a dive meet without the pressure of competition. It will also be a volunteer training opportunity for parents. We will be implementing a new computer system at the scoring table, and will be training a few parents to run this. The rest of the parents will attend a judging clinic so everyone will be well-prepared to volunteer at meets this summer!
Volunteers – I am still looking for an announcer and volunteers to train on the new computer system. Please sign up to train on these roles at Otter RipFest if you plan to volunteer for these roles during our two home meets. Reach out to me if you have any questions.
July 13 2:00-4:00pm Team Jump at SkyZone!
We will be holding a team bonding event with our coaches at SkyZone in Tukwila (thanks for the great idea Coach Declan)! Purchase tickets and skysocks here. Make sure to select the 2:00pm slot on July 13!
Please note skysocks are required, and each participant will need to sign a SkyZone waiver before participating.
