Another dual meet season opening with Orcas and Seals facing off! The Terra Linda Orcas were proud to welcome Strawberry for a day of great swims and energy.

Strawberry kicked the meet off with the National Anthem, and the teams swam their hearts out all morning. The Orcas’ new prize heats were a huge hit with both Orca and Seal swimmers earning an orca keychain in some exciting heats. The sun even made an appearance over the crowd.

Between both teams, there were nine triple winners! Congratulations to Zoe, Patrick, Tessa, and Oliver of the Orcas, and Anders, Teddy, Inara, Ashlyn, and Winston of the Seals. The teams were neck and neck the whole meet with all of these strong swimmers, but the Orcas held on to win 289 to the Seals’ 252.

Special shout out to all of the high school swimmers we missed but cheered on as they swam at MCALs.Congratulations to TL Boys and Tam Girls on their wins!

A misty May morning greeted the start of the 2026 Marin Swim League Season in Scott Valley Saturday, with puffers and parkas hiding shivers and nerves as the Novato Riptide looked ready to rumble.

Things warmed-up quickly after a raucous round of Relays and fast Freestyle, led by Sea Serpent 9-10 swimmers Georgia Duford and Dominic Palmer, both triple-winners on the day. Colton Luke and Bryce Ressler did the same for Novato, leaving the Riptide and Sea Serpents all tangled-up headed into Backstroke.

With the sun playing peek-a-boo, Scott Valley turned-on the gas and turned-in best times for nearly half the team, handing Jimi Thomas a win in his debut as Sea Serpents Head Coach. They’ll need the momentum headed into Sleepy Hollow next week while Novato stays on the road to face the Tidalwaves.
