Good Afternoon Barracudas!

Here is the BEST NEWS of 2021 (so far)...SWIM TEAM is BACK ON for the summer!!!

We will be following the ASA & CDC COVID recommended guidelines. As we get closer to May - the rules may change. So we will keep everyone updated as soon as we know anything different.

We know last summer was a bummer. But the good news is that all of our coaches will be returning this summer because they desperately miss your swimmers!

We have a current list of who received refunds last year & who choose to let it stay as a "credit" for this summer. So no worries there. The kids will be wearing the same suit as last summer.

As for now - here are some important dates to get ready for our 2021 season:

*Sunday, February 28, 2021 – Online registration starts for BF residents only

*Friday, March 5, 2021 – Online registration starts for families that don’t live in BF.

*Saturday, March 6, 2021 - Team Open House (9am-1pm) at the Upper Clubhouse.

(Meet and greet with coaches and coordinators, in-house registration payment, dive certification information & team suit fittings)

Bradshaw Farm 2021 resident registration costs:

$130 (1st child)
$105 (each additional child)

Non-resident 2021 registration costs:
$160 (1st child)
$135 (each additional child)

You can pay when you register via credit card (small service charge) or by check.

*** REGISTRATION LATE FEE OF $36 WILL BE ASSESSED STARTING ON March 21, 2021 PER THE NEW ASA HANDBOOK***

NOTE: Lead Job Holders will be assessed $28 for their first swimmer, which is an ASA swimmer fee. The rest of their charge will be exempt for their first swimmer.

We'll be registering everyone online via our SwimTopia website. The private link to register will be sent out as we approach each registration period. There is no cap to our overall swim team this year but we are capping individual age groups. So if a message pops up to go to the waiting list please do. We will be working through those.

Swimmers:

Swimmers have to be ages 5-18, and have to be able to swim the length of the pool by the first meet. No coaches in the water with swimmers. Dive certification this year: Only new swimmers, or those not certified with our team, need to be certified. 5 year olds don't get certified. 6 & up do get certified. These must be done for anyone who is new to the team regardless of whether you swim somewhere else during the year. (All kids 6-18)

Parental Involvement:

Barracudas swimming runs solely off of the commitments of our parents. It takes a lot of help to put a meet together. We must fill many positions for both home meets and away meets. Families are required to work at 5 volunteer shifts and may be requested to participate more if need be. Remember, this is your swim team and we will only succeed if everyone participates. We get compliments every year from other visiting teams on our parent involvement. They wonder how we have such great participation!! You all rock-that's why!!
