- The first step is to contact our coaches to learn first-hand about our swim program. Use the contact form or email barracudaswimteam1@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
- Our coaches will schedule a time to meet each swimmer and evaluate them in the pool. This assessment will allow coaches to place each swimmer in the appropriate training group (Green, Bronze, Silver, or Gold). More information on our training program can be found here.
- Once coaching staff assign the proper training group, you can proceed to the online portal for payment. See below.
- The Barracuda Swim Team offers a year-round program, as well as, two seasonal programs (winter & summer). More information on our programs can be found here.

USA Swimming (Optional)
To participate in USA Swimming sanctioned events, swimmers must be a member of the USA Swimming Association. Please see USA Swimming for more information. This is only needed if swimming in these sanctioned events. New in 2018, the USA Swimming Association is now offering a "Flex" Membership which is only $20/yr and allows registered swimmer to swim 2 sanctioned USA meets per year. The "Premium" membership is $87 per year and allows registered swimmers to swim unlimited amount of USA sanctioned events.
Most of our local club meets are not USA sanctioned events. Therefore, you don't need a USA membership for the majority of our events. However, in December 2019 the Barracudas are hosting their 3rd Annual Eastern Shore Invitational in Georgetown which is a USA sanctioned event. Therefore, you will need a USA membership to participate in this event. For this reason, the coaches highly encourage each swimmer to register for the "FLEX" membership. See coaches for more information.
