Congratulations to Our Exceptional Otter Graduates!
We are thrilled to dedicate this section of our website to honor and celebrate the outstanding swimmers who have graduated as Otters. These individuals have not only demonstrated exceptional talent in the pool but have also proven themselves as exemplary members of our community. Their dedication to the sport, unwavering commitment, and sportsmanship have not only brought pride to our club but have also left an indelible mark on the West Vancouver Otters Swim Club. Whether breaking records, leading relays to victory, or supporting their fellow swimmers, these graduates have embodied the core values of our club. They have represented us with grace, integrity, and a true Otters spirit. As they continue their journeys beyond the water's edge, we are confident that they will continue to shine in all their endeavors. Congratulations to our remarkable Otter graduates, and thank you for being an inspiration to us all.
