Happy peak summer, Otter Fans!
TLDR Pls 1) RSVP for Tues AWAY vs. KT 2) RSVP for Ths home vs TL. (SENIOR NIGHT!) and 3) sign up to **volunteer ** for TL meet because we need! your! help! TYSM!
Here’s what’s coming up:
Tonight: We are going to the DubSea Fishsticks game! Gates open at 5:00, and first pitch is 6:00. When you arrive, look for blue & red, and Addie & Julia – the stadium is small and it is a chill, family-friendly environment. And, I hear there might be a fun surprise or two in store for us. I hear the game is sold out, but if you decide last minute you want to go– I have 4 extra tickets, email or text me if you’d like them. (206-931-7537)
Tues Jul 15 we are away vs. Kent. Please RSVP ASAP and no later than Sunday EOD. Swimmers should aim to arrive by 5:00 pm to be in the pool for 5:15 pm warmup, the racing starts at 6 pm. See below for more info about this meet.
Thus Jul 17 is our last HOME meet, hosting Twin Lakes. Please RSVP ASAP and no later than midnight Tuesday and volunteer to help. The meet theme is: 80’s New Wave Neon Party – sport your finest 80’s style, neon colors, and maybe you have those sunglasses that look like mini blinds? After event 37, we will pause the meet for a moment to recognize our graduating seniors: Ava Karman, Maks Karman, Luke Schinkel, Sadie Pallotta, Marlo Pietsch, Duncan Monnin, Avery Zimmer, Clara Henzke, Stella Klem, Lucy Rysemus, and Brady Murphy. We will have a special reserved section for families of graduating seniors, and, once the sun goes down we’ll break out our slouchy leg warmers and some glow sticks! For those staying late, we’ll have a short swim party after the meet concludes. (And we will clean up all the glow sticks because we like Blake and we clean up our messes. ) You know the drill: gates open at 4:00, warm up is at 4:45, team meeting at 5:40, meet starts at 6 pm.
Sat Jul 19 is the Speedy Sixers Meet at Normandy Park, in the morning. Speedy sixer parents, you’ll receive a separate email about this!
Let us know if you have any questions- reply all to include coaches.
A-R-B-O-R GO ARBOR!

Info from Kent:
Howdy Arbor Swim Families!
We are so excited to host you on Tuesday (July 15)!!! It will be “Western Day” at KSTC & we hope you will all join us in your best Cowboy & Cowgirl ‘fits.
Here is little run down of what to expect. There is street parking across from the pool and at the park next door. Please try to carpool as space is definitely limited. Our Parking Lot will be closed to General Parking. If you have ADA parking requests please get them to your Swim Team Coordinator as early as possible.
We will be selling burgers, hotdogs, frito banditos, baked potatoes, taco salad and all the candy, ice cream, and beverages you can imagine. We accept cash or card. Come hungry because we would love to feed you. We will also be selling shaved ice for $3 (This is CASH ONLY!)
I have attached a map of the pool. We reserve seating for your team on the lawn across from concessions and also a portion of the bleachers overlooking the pool. Feel free to cheer on your swimmer at the end of the lane but be mindful of others and please move on once your swimmer is done. Only swimmers will be allowed behind the blocks.
Our gates will open at 4pm. Home team warm ups are at 4:45pm and Away team is at 5:15pm. Meet starts at 6pm!
We are so excited to get this party started… see you Tuesday!
