Barracuda Mission:

Our Barracuda program is designed to further develop a student’s ability and love for swimming as a sport. This progressive program is tailored to build a swimmer’s endurance, while maintaining a focus on development and technique through attentive practices. Barracuda is a great option for swimmer’s who may not want to be in a competitive environment, or for those already on a team, but wants more attention to proper technique.

Common Questions:

Q: What will practice look like?

A: Practice will consist of dry land (on deck exercises and drills) and in water training. We will monitor their swim times for each stroke, work on starts and turns, and perfect the skills for each stroke (butterfly, freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke)

Q: Will the swimmers ever compete?

A: Right now, no. This program is meant to get swimmers ready to swim competitively on a team. We may, though, have mock meets to practice!

Q: Why should my swimmer join?

A: There are several reasons to join the Barracuda Swim Team:

• The Barracuda program bridges the gap between lessons and a full-time swim team
• Swimmers learn the same skills, drills, and terms taught in competitive swim teams
• This program is a lower commitment than being on a full time team
• It exposes swimmers to team environment
• It is FUN!
