The Otters are the first level of age group swimming here at Cottonwood Heights Aquatics Team. This group is comprised primarily of our 11-under swimmers. These swimmers must have 4 legal strokes. This group will emphasize stroke development and endurance. This group refines and builds upon fundamentals while introducing more advanced drills and efficient technique. There will also be a strong emphasis on developing and refining competition skills. Some specific skills being taught will include: legal technique in all four strokes, competitive turns, competitive starts, interval training with a pace clock and an introduction to training sets. Basic dryland routines will be incorporated 4 times a week for 15 minutes each time before we swim to increase basic athleticism.  Athletes need to wear t-shirt, shorts and gym shoes over their swimsuit for dryland.
