About our Barracudas Teams
Berkeley Swim Club is proud to offer two options for our members looking to get their children started with competitive swimming. Both teams provide a great opportunity to improve swimming skills within a close-knit & supportive team environment!
We’re excited to announce the launch of our Big Barracuda/Jr. Barracuda program this summer, designed to strengthen connections and build lasting relationships among all of our teammates.
Junior Barracudas Program
This program is for swimmers ages 6-10 (or younger swimmers approved by coaches) who can swim half a lap of freestyle. Practices focus on stroke development and building endurance. The Junior team participates in 2 low-pressure meets as an introduction to summer league competition. They also participate in our Swim-A-Long Fundraiser on July 4th and our Awards Picnic 7/19.
