Barracudas Quick Start (4/14) (All new swimmers - please read)
Thursday, 4/14, is for all children 7 & older AND for 4- to 6-year-olds who passed the try-out on 4/13. All swimmers 7 and older make the team regardless of swimming level.
Quick Start is NOT A SWIM LESSON. It is an orientation for new members of the swim team to get a leg up on terminology, drills, and cheers. (Parents will be inside with me learning their role on the team... it's a giant volunteer group effort)
Quick Start will be held on Tuesday, April 14 at the Villages of Shady Hollow Pool. Your swimmer's exact time will be a 30-45 minute timeslot between 5:00 pm-7:30 pm. Exact times will be sent out 3-5 business days before 4/14. (Click link to sign up)
The cost of Quick Start is $10 per child and is optional, though strongly recommended for brand-new swimmers. You may have already made a payment during registration; if not, you can bring cash, a check, or Venmo the day of the orientation.
Barracudas Try-out Signup 2026 (4/13 5:30)
This try-out is for swimmers who have never swum on the Barracudas swim team and are 4, 5, or 6 years old as of May 1st, 2026. All swimmers ages 7 to 18 do not need to try out; they automatically make the team.
