JUNIOR BARRACUDAS

The Junior Barracudas is designed for the “novice” beginner. Typically, swimmers must complete the Learn to Swim Program or have already had previous experience. The coaches concentrate on the basics (Backstroke and Freestyle), kick work, getting acquainted with fellow team members and learning how to be a team player. This program will give each swimmer the opportunity to develop both physically and socially through their experiences. The coaches will continually evaluate swimmers in the program and encourage them to strive to meet the Barracuda swim team qualifications. Junior Barracudas is perfect for the true beginner or the non-competitive swimmer ages 4 - 6.
