Annual Splash Dash Fundraiser:
Get ready for Splash Dash, which will be June 4th. This is a very fun afternoon full of swimming, games, prizes, and a raffle! We want ALL BARRACUDAS to participate! We hope every swimmer can raise at least $50 to help make this season the best one yet! More information is coming soon.

Calling for a Team Hospitality Shopper
Do you want to relax during the meets or take care of your volunteer obligations outside of the meets? Then you may be perfect to act as the Team’s Hospitality Shopper. The Hospitality Shopper will be tasked with purchasing and preparing snacks from a predetermined list for home swim meetings. These purchases will be reimbursed by the team, and distributed during the meets by the Hospitality Volunteer of the day. If this sounds like a great opportunity, please contact the commitment coordinator, Nick Sweetnam ([email protected]). Move fast, because this will be first come, first serve!

Team Sponsorship- Calling All Business Owners and Families!
Are you a business owner looking for an opportunity to get your name out there by way of the Barracudas or a Family looking to meet your season’s volunteer requirements? We have different levels of sponsorship available with varying perks for sponsors, and family sponsorships are just $1000. Please sign up here if you are interested in sponsoring, or contact Amber Sutton ([email protected]) to learn more!

Don’t forget Pete’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is giving kids a free cheese pizza with a purchase of an adult meal after swim practices or meets. Just mention the Barracudas!

Water Polo Sundays?
Interested in getting some more pool time outside of the swim team? Consider water polo activities on Sunday. Please take a look at the attached flyer for more information.

Swim Team Pictures:
There will be two days for swimmers to schedule team pictures, June 10th and the 18th. Please secure a spot HERE. It would be great if all our swimmers get their individual pictures so that a composite of the team can be created. Just a reminder that swimmers should be in their team suits.

Club Reminders:
Please remind your kids to carry their membership cards and stop by the front desk when coming to clinic or practice. If they do not have one, they can have one made at the front desk. If a care provider or someone besides the member is bringing your child, please remind them that they also must sign in at the front desk. Appreciate it!

Social Media:
Did you know that we have a Facebook and Instagram page dedicated to everything Barracudas! Show our Barracuda Spirit and upload your favorite pictures from swim on the Barracuda’s Facebook and Instagram! Any great Photobooth shots? Print out a few favorites (4x6 or smaller) to add to our Spirit Wall!
