Barracudas Swim Team

Our Barracudas Swim Team is a competitive swim team that requires a tryout to determine level placement. If your child can swim the four competitive strokes, call Stacy to set up a tryout at 847-985-2143.

Barracudas is a multi-level program offering opportunities for competition and skill development to all swimmers. New members are always welcome. Ages are used as guidelines. Different skill groups are available. Fees vary by group and number of practice days per week.

Practices will be held at Hoffman Estates High School. Online and mail-in registration are not available for Barracudas. View the program guide or visit the Barracudas Swim Team website for more information.
