Notes:
Please understand that we are a competitive swim team that might not be a good fit for every athlete at this stage in their swimming development. Please be aware that not every swimmer attending the tryout will be placed in a group within the team. We limit our membership to ensure that the swimmers on our team have an excellent swimmer-to-coach and swimmer-to-lane ratio. Due to an increasing volume of swimmers on our team, if your athlete is 13&Over we require previous USA Club Swimming experience in order to try out. If your athlete is 13 or older, we ask that you reach out with a list of your swimmer’s best times. Thanks so much for your interest in joining the Front Range Barracudas!
