Short Season Barracudas
This is our 2 month competitive swim team trial program for swimmers ages 4-18. This program is excellent for swimmers who have swim lesson experience and would like to get a feel for competitive swimming. Practices are Mon/Wed/Fri from 5:45 - 6:45pm. Coaches create a 9 week training program to give participants the best chance to learn the 4 strokes and how to dive. Coaches also organize activities and relays for fun Fridays monthly to allow swimmers to celebrate their hard work. Swimmers may be invited to continue swimming with the full season Barracudas at the conclusion of the short season for a fee of $250.
Program: Oct 2 - Nov 25
Practices: Practices are held at Carlynton High School Mon/Wed/Fri from 5:45 - 6:45pm.
Meets: Short season swimmers are more than welcome to participate in Swim Meets with the Barracudas! Swim meets are held on Saturday mornings (9a-1p). We typically have 8-10 meets throughout the season, half home/away. Meets are a perfect opportunity for swimmers to compete and witness their continuous improvement. Meets will last 3-6 hours and up to 90 minutes of travel may be necessary for some away meets. Home meets are held at Carlynton High School and run by volunteers. Swimmers are not required to attend them all, but must attend a minimum of 4 meets throughout the season to qualify for Champs in late March.
Equipment: Swimmers will provide their own suit, goggles, and caps. CAC provides all other equipment necessary for practice and meets.
Cost: $125 per swimmer + $50 out of district fee per swimmer
Qualifications: Swimmers must be able to safely and consistently swim the length of the pool to participate in our short season competitive swimming program.
