Competition Team

Beginning the day after Memorial Day

Ages 10 & Under	(Time 4:30PM-5:15PM)
Ages 11- 18	(Time 5:15PM-6:00PM)

If you are not able to come at the age-assigned time due to later school dismissal, other athletic practices, or parent work schedule, you may come to the other practice. The reason for two practice times is for a smaller group with a more intensive workout. Goggles will be necessary. The first two days of practice will be an assessment phase for the younger swimmers to determine readiness for the regular team or if the MiniBarracuda program would be more appropriate. The assessment will begin at 4pm and end around 4:20PM

All swimmers are expected to attend the morning practices. If for some reason a swimmer needs to come to a practice outside of their age group, please discuss this with the coaches.

10 and under:	4:00-5:00PM

These practices are not in place of the morning practices. They are intended for those swimmers who can not come in the morning due to summer school, summer camp, jobs, or parent work schedules. Those swimmers who want to practice two times a day are also welcome.

Mini-Barracudas
The mini program will begin the day after school lets out The last practice is the morning of the Lollipop Meet in late July. The first day or two of practice will be an evaluation phase to determine a swimmer's readiness for the mini program. Private or smaller group lessons will be available by the coaches at alternate times for a fee if the swimmer is not ready or interested in the mini program. We must have a minimum of 10 swimmers to run the mini program. Also, in order for our Mini-Barracuda Program to run smoothly, we encourage swimmers who are 11 years and older to volunteer to help with the mini's practices. In order to help with this program, the swimmer needs to attend a mandatory mini's helper training. Dates and times will be announced closer to the trainings.

Friday Team Potluck and Pep Rally
We will meet at our pool on Fridays at 6:00 PM. Check the Potluck Calendar for what you are to bring. It is by your last name and changes each time. Please try and bring your food as well as yourselves on time (The food goes fast!). This will be a time to build team spirit in preparation for the meet the next AM. It will also be a time for parents to talk with coaches and the Team Rep, if needed. In addition, we can finalize any team social activities for the weekend or coming week. It is also an essential time to finalize the officials for the next day and to get the pool ready for the visiting team for home meets.
