2024 Barracudas Swim Team

Congrats to our 124 swimmers on an incredible 2024 season!

We’re so proud of you all; swimming competitively for the first time, trying new events, doubling up with club practice, demonstrating sportsmanship and team spirit, and just continuing the tradition of the WG Barracuda swim team fully.

Thank you to the best coaches around; Julia, Julianna, Abby, and Elaina.

How lucky we are to have you all!

SWIM TEAM EVALUATIONS

Friday MAY 31, 2024
4:30 pm for ages 8 and under and 5:15 pm for ages 9 and older.

Saturday JUNE 1, 2024
9:00 am all ages

These evaluations are for anyone who has NOT been on the swim team before. The coaches and I will be there to assess the swimmer's readiness for swim team.  We do not focus on any timing requirements or stroke ability, but we do assess the swimmer's ability to swim independently and have a basic front stroke.

Team Suit Fitting and Parent Meeting will take place on Sunday, June 9th 2024. Metro Swim Shop will be on site for suit fitting from 4-6pm and the parent meeting will take place immediately after, at 6pm in the Grove.
