Barracudas Swim Club
Through the Y's swimming programs, kids have the opportunity to make friends, get active and discover what they can achieve. The goal of the Barracudas Swim Club is to create a strong team spirit, foster personal growth and improve each participant's swimming skills.
Practice Days and Times
Barracudas swimmers are divided into age groups for the purpose of practice. The emphasis is on stroke mechanics with a moderate amount of physical conditioning. For older swimmers (ages 11 and older), there is also an emphasis on conditioning. There are subdivisions within the practice groups so that everyone practices at a suitable level. The two practice groups compete together as a single team.
