The Montgomery YMCA Barracudas has been the premier swim team in The River Region since 1978. We provide all youth the opportunity to participate on a year-round competitive USA/ YMCA Swim team that is dedicated to building athletes who are committed, have strong character, and show great attitude. We offer a wide range of groups from the beginning swimmer all the way to national qualifiers.
