Feet touch the water and suddenly we’re planning the post-practice feast. 🍟🌊😂

Swim hunger is a whole different level. When you’ve spent practice kicking, pulling, sprinting, flipping and giving it everything you’ve got, that appetite hits HARD. 💪🏊

Good thing Otters know how to WORK… and EAT. 🦦💛🖤

Whether you’re a longtime RASC swimmer or thinking about jumping in for the first time, there’s a lane waiting for you.

Come swim with the RASC Otters! 🦦🌊

🦦✈️ OTTERS ON THE MOVE! 🇺🇸🏊‍♀️

This Otter spotlight is an extra special one! 💙

Please join us in celebrating RASC alum Wyndel as she begins an incredible new chapter at the United States Air Force Academy! 🇺🇸

After graduating from high school and completing Basic Cadet Training, Wyndel was finally reunited with her family for a well-deserved visit. 💙

And now, the next adventure begins — college, life at the USAFA, and the official start of swim & dive season! 🏊‍♀️✈️

Watching our Otters grow from young swimmers into amazing young adults is one of the most beautiful parts of being a swim family. The friendships, discipline, confidence, perseverance, and opportunities built through this sport can carry our athletes far beyond the pool.

Wyndel, your Otter family is SO proud of you! We’re cheering you on as you take on this incredible journey. Keep swimming, keep soaring, and keep making us proud! 🦦💙🇺🇸

Once an Otter, ALWAYS an Otter! 🦦

Drop some 💙🇺🇸🦦 in the comments to wish Wyndel congratulations and good luck!

🌊 OTTERS IN ACTION! 🦦💛🖤

Summer may be a break from swim season, but our Otters never stop putting in the work!

A huge shoutout to Bella and Noah, who crushed another triathlon training session as Bella gears up for her big race later this month! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️💪

As if that wasn't awesome enough, they even "ran" into Coach Gabe, who's hard at work training for the Chicago marathon! 🏅 Seeing our coaches and athletes inspire one another outside the pool is what the Otter family is all about.

Whether it's swimming, triathlons, running, baseball, softball, dance, music, school achievements, or simply reaching a personal goal—we want to celebrate ALL of our Otters! 🎉

📸 Parents: Send me your photos and a quick description of your Otter's summer accomplishments! You can message us in GroupMe or email [email protected]

Let's fill our feed with all the amazing things our Otters are accomplishing this summer! 🦦💛🖤
