Program Overview

Our Future Barracudas program (formerly Swim School) will be led by our Swim Team Coaches with the assistance of current Barracuda Swimmers. Daily attendance is encouraged to maximize the benefits of this program.

FOCUS OF THE DAY
MONDAYIntroduction of Freestyle and Dives.
TUESDAYIntroduction of Backstroke, and review all previously learned skills.
WEDNESDAYIntroduction of Breaststroke, and review all previously learned skills.
THURSDAYIntroduction of Butterfly, and review all previously learned skills.
FRIDAYMock Meet starting with a warm-up and having all of the kids participate in some races. After the Mock Meet, there will be a chance for free swim so all swimmers can practice dives, jump off the diving board, and play games.

The last 15 – 20 minutes of each day will be used to play a game or have free swim to allow new swimmers to build relationships with Barracuda Swimmers.

All swimmers must be able to pass the Water Competency Test (a.k.a. Swim Test):

  •  Swim 25 yards of the pool without touching the wall
  • Tread water for 1 minute
  •  Demonstrate a back float
  • Jump into pool

If your swimmer hasn’t completed a Swim Test, we’ll offer this test any time during regular family swim or lap swim.
