Welcome all new and returning Otters to the 2007 swim season!

Our final registration at the OQST Clubhouse is Tuesday, May 29th from 6:00-8:00pm, upstairs. Please make sure you are registered with the swim team before entering the pool for our first practice. Also, please do not attempt to give registrations to Dyann, she will be busy running practices. Remember to sign-up to volunteer, too!
