Dear Barracudas Families,

Our last dual meet is coming up this Saturday. Meets against Glen Oaks are always fun and very competitive. We are swimming at our pool, sign in is between 6:45am and 7am and we will start warm-up at 7am.

Please don’t forget to sign up for the championship meet the following weekend on our webpage. This is a mandatory meet for our team and the biggest event of the season.

 

 

 

 

Have you seen our new ready benches? They arrived this week and they look great. We want to send a BIG thanks to all of you who have donated as Sponsors and/or via our swim-a-thon. New benches were long overdue and due to your generosity we are able to finally have the best ready area in the league J.
