It's kind of like race car driving.
You have a car that goes fast, but you work on all those little extra things
to make it go faster.

HOW TO JOIN US
Fall/Winter -- September to April.
During this most competitive time of the year, Barracudas swim in both North Country YMCA League meets and meets sanctioned by US Swimming (USA).
Spring -- April to June.
This session enables swimmers to stay in condition, and gives novice swimmers interested in joining the Barracudas a chance to gain experience. This team swims a small number of USA meets.
Summer -- June to August.
While practices are held indoors at the Y, competitions are generally in USA meets swum in outdoor pools. This session is also a great time for new swimmers to join the Barracudas.
In order to join the Barracudas in any of the three swim seasons, swimmers must meet the following qualifications:
- Swimmers must be full facility members of the Southern Saratoga County YMCA.
- Swimmers must pay team fees and a USA membership, costs for both of which vary according to the season; in addition, for any USA meet swimmers choose to swim there are nominal fees charged by the host team that swimmers pay.
- Swimmers--and their families--must understand that the team consists not only of the swimmers and coaches, but also of the support members: the swimmers' families. Parents/guardians must be willing to accommodate their schedules in order to bring swimmers to practices, to cheer them on during meets, and to help perform the work--both at meets and behind the scenes--needed for the team to exist.
