History
The club website states that it is unclear when the club first started, however, the first players were registered with the Gozo Aquatic Association on July 28, 1971, and thus this is considered the founding date. The first players included Anton Refalo, Victor Grech, George Calleja, Carmel Debattista and Frank Masini. Otters have humble beginnings in the Gozitan Waterpolo League, starting from its second division. Eventually, all the other teams (Għajnsielem, Sea Urchins, Blue Sharks, Dolphins, Whales, Penguins) became defunct and Otters ASC joined the national league system. Otters ASC first fielded an Under-18 team within the Maltese Aquatic Sports Association of Malta in 1977 as an experiment. Eventually, in 1980, Otters started to test the Maltese waters again, and by 1982, they grew too strong within Gozo; thus, the club decided to join the Maltese league system for good.Premises
