BARRACUDAS 2026 SPRING CLINICS

The Barracudas are part of the recreational Northern California Swim League (NCSL). The NCSL has strict policies about pre-season training during the months of February & March. February is considered a "Dry Month" where swimmers cannot participate in any coached workouts. However, in March, swimmers may participate in "stroke & turn training" as long as they:

• Participate in a maximum of 3 clinic days within a week
• Received no more than 60 minutes of coaching in a day
• Swim no more than 100 yards without stopping for instruction

The Barracudas have designed the Spring Clinic sessions to fit within the acceptable NCSL criteria. These sessions are all less than 60 minutes, are heavily focused on stroke technique, and will not exceed 50 yards of swimming without instructional breaks.

Please note: By league rules, a swimmer will be ruled ineligible to swim with the Barracudas if it’s found they swim in excess of the above criteria.
