Weldon Ridge Barracudas

Summer Swim Team

Home of the Barracudas!

The Weldon Ridge Barracudas are a summer swim team that compete in the South Division of the Tarheel Swim Association. The team is open to any elementary, middle or high school-aged resident of the Weldon Ridge neighborhood (ages 5-18).

If you're interested in joining the team, explore this site and let the swim board know if you have any questions!

Registration

The season dates will be from June 15 - July 20, 2021 and a mock meet is scheduled for Thursday, June 10th.

Online registration is OPEN from April 1st to May 1st! We will also hold an in-person registration event on Saturday, May 1st!

All registrations must still be done online. To register, simply follow these steps:

  1. Go to www.tsaswimteam.com to register your swimmer(s). If you don't already have an account, you will need to register for an account.

  2. For returning swimmers: for each swimmer, select "edit," then change swimmer status to "active" and save. For new swimmers: Select "Active," then enter swimmer information and save.

  3. Volunteer requirements will stay consistent with prior years. Every family is required to volunteer at four meets in addition to the mock meet. As part of registration, we require a $100 volunteer deposit. This will be returned to families at the end of the season if they met their volunteer requirements.

  4. On the billing page, check to "Agree to Terms & Conditions."

  5. Press Finish to PRINT the billing page. Sign where indicated.

  6. Write a check for the total to "Weldon Ridge Swim Team" and staple your check to your printed form.

  7. Sign up on Sign Up Genius to select a time to stop by the registration event on May 1st.

  8. Bring both the form, the volunteer deposit check, and the registration check to the registration event on May 1st. We highly suggest coming to the registration event to register, but if you can not attend the registration event for some reason, please email wrswimpresident@gmail.com to coordinate a drop off.

We are still working out specific practice times, but we do anticipate offering a morning and afternoon swim practice. Much of what we will be able to do will be dictated by number of swimmers who sign up and any restrictions we may have.

Volunteering

The swim team can't operate without volunteers like you!

  • Volunteer requirements will stay consistent with prior years. Every family is required to volunteer at four meets in addition to the mock meet. You will need to sign up for the volunteer positions when registering.

Swim wear

  • Prior to our first meet, new swimmers should visit All American Swim at 1231 NW Maynard Road and request to purchase the suit for the Weldon Ridge Barracudas. They will be able to assist with sizing. Returning swimmers are welcome to use last year's suit or purchase a new one. We are planning for these suits to be used again for the 2021 swim season as well, so if any returning swimmers would like to purchase the suits know that you'll be able to use them again.

  • Swim suit model/colors for the 2020/2021 season – TYR Perseus model (girls’ suit $25, boys’ jammers $20).
