Barracudas Swim Team
Join us for the area's best pre-competitive swim team! Swimmers will work on refining competitive strokes and developing good workout habits. Barracudas will prepare swimmers for competitive club and high school swim teams. Participants MUST be able to swim 50 yards each of the front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, and be familiar with the butterfly. Swimmers should be comfortable swimming at least 500 over the course of practice. Participants will be assessed at the first practice; those who do not meet the prerequisites will be recommended for the learn-to-swim program.
