Welcome to the 2025 Swim Season!!
The Orange Otters is a member of the Tri-County League, which includes Orange, Culpeper, and Fauquier Counties, and participates in weekly meets with the other teams within the league. The team allows for opportunities for everyone to swim, improve their times, meet new friends, and provide FUN for kids and families! Each year, our season is concluded with a picnic and awards! Our team is always looking for new members and encourage Country Town Pool families to join!
So, what can you expect from our summer swim program at Orange?
FUN!!! So much fun. Our coaches are young and energetic – they love swimming AND kids.
LEARNING While we have tons of fun, your kiddos will also learn the important life skills of treading water, floating and swimming.
FRIENDS We spend tons of time together between practice and meets. Plan on making friends for a lifetime
COMPETITION Your kids will diligently practice their strokes and then each week, will get to show off how much they have learned at swim meets
POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE Central to all of the things above is that at all times, the expectation at our pool and meets is that our team and coaches maintain a positive atmosphere – regardless of what is happening around us – good sportsmanship and positive attitudes only.
There are so many more things that can be said as to the benefits of our summer swim program, but this page would be extremely long. If you want to know more, ask some of our existing team members, they can fill you in.

Meet the Coach ~ Sheila Wimble
Hello! My name is Sheila Wimble, but you can call me Coach Swimble.
I have been coaching summer swimming for 42 years for RSL. Most of my years were with Lake of the Woods Barracudas (1979 -1991). I coached the Chancellor Blue Dolphins for 92,93,94,95, and then returned to Barracudas from 1996 to 2021. I retired two years ago from the Barracudas but decided that I was missing summer coaching too much. So, I am fortunate to get the chance to coach the Otters. I also am going into my 27-year teaching PE and head coaching the high school swim team at Fredericksburg Academy. I love teaching children of all ages (plain and simple!). I look forward to coaching you all this summer.
