Hello Sea Otter Families,

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our lane timers and recorders for their hard work and extra attention at yesterday’s meet. During backstroke, there was a technical issue with the lane timer sheets, and our volunteers quickly caught, communicated and acted on the discrepancies before they caused significant delays. Their diligence also helped prevent additional issues in the remaining strokes. THANK YOU, volunteers, for your focus, teamwork and dedication - we truly appreciate you! 💙💛
