Welcome 2026 YWCA Barracudas!!!
PRACTICE SCHEDULE & PRACTICE TIMES ASSIGNMENTS:
Monday, May 18th – Friday, July 17th

New for 2026 we are offering practice times with larger age ranges in order to better meet the needs of families with multiple swimmers. At registration, families selected the preferred swim time.
Click HERE to see what practice time your swimmer has been assigned to!
We did our best to assign swimmers to preferred times, keep siblings together (or back to back) and to have friend-groups swimming together.
Please let Aileen know if you have any questions or concerns!
