BECOME A BARRACUDA
- The first step is to contact the Barracudas. Many families arrange time to meet at the pool with one of our coaches to learn first-hand about our team. Use the contact form or email barracudaswimteam1@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
- All swimmers must complete the proper registration forms located below and submit to a coach or front desk at the Western Sussex Boys & Girls Club at 310 Virginia Ave., Seaford, DE.

Regardless if you sign-up for year-round or one of our seasonal teams, our training philosophy will adapt to each swimmer's ability. We don't differentiate between year-round and seasonal swimmers. We are all Barracudas and we all swim and grow together! For more information on programs click 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 $80/yr and allows registered swimmer 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 2018 the Barracudas are hosting their 2nd Annual Eastern Shore Invitational in Georgetown which is a USA sanctioned event. 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.
