Barracuda families!

The time has come and summer league is here! Practices will begin this Monday, 5/18. This week we will have practice Monday through Friday at regular afternoon times. Practice times can be found on our website bhbarracudas.swimtopia.com. Lots of information below, please read through!

What do I need to bring to practice?

Practice needs are simple! Your swimmer will need a pair of goggles (no goggles that cover the nose), a towel (or 2 as the water will still be a little cold) and a positive attitude!

Registration Payment

If you have not yet paid your registration dues, please bring a check to practice this week. Any swimmer who has not paid by our first meet will not be able to participate in the meet.

Team Gear

Team caps and t-shirts are included in your registration. Caps will be handed out at practice this week and t-shirts should be here by the end of the week. All other gear ordered through registration has been ordered and will be distributed as it arrives.

Meet Attendance Declaration

Meets will be here before you know it! We need parents to declare swimmers for all meets. In swimtopia there will be 2 types of declaration. Regular meets will have an option to declare attending or not attending. Invite meets (Relay Carnival and All-star) will have an able to attend or not able to attend option. Please declare for all meets so our coaches can begin building out meet entries. Once the season gets going it moves fast, so doing it now really helps us out. Directions on how to declare are on our website.

Home meet concessions

For all home meets we have a dedicated group of parents that run our concession stand. To help get it up and running we ask for donations from our families. This will help the team keep more of the funds generated which helps pay for our end of season party as well as any equipment upgrades/replacements the team may need. A sign-up genius has everything listed.

Clinics

While Coach Meredith is not with the team full-time this season, she will be running a few Saturday Clinics again this season. The flyer is attached to this email and you can sign up here. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FA5AB2AAAF8C61-63996248-2026

As we kick off the season, I just want to say Thank You to all our families. We love the summer swim season, and we hope you enjoy it as well! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll be on deck for most of this first week!
