Sea Otters Swim Team

What is the difference between the Winter and Summer Swim Teams?

The Winter Sea Otters Swim Team has four different practice groups: Mini Otters, JR Otters, Otters and Senior Otters for the winter (Oct to April).  Each practice group has specific practice times. Groups are based on participant ability and the amount of practice the participant would like to attend.  The Winter Swim Team is a member of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Swim Leage (CPSL).  The team competes against other YMCA teams from across Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
 
The Summer Sea Otters Swim Team generally has two practice groups: Senior Otters and JR Otters for the summer (May to July).  Each practice group has specific practice times.  Groups are based on participant ability and the amount of practice the participant would like to attend.  The team is part of the Cumberland YMCA's Summer Swim League, which competes with local teams in a 5 to 6 week season of meets which each focus on a specific swim stroke.  All meets are held at the Cumberland YMCA. The Summer Team is a great way to start your swimming career!
 
Is there any swim team practice between April and May or August and September?
 
Swimming Technique Boot Camp is offered, usually in the spring, for current team members and those who might be interested in joining the swim team. The camp focuses on stroke instruction and teaching the fundamentals of each swimming stroke.
