Notes:
Please understand that we are a competitive swim team that might not be a fit for every athlete at this stage in their development. Be aware that not every swimmer attending the tryout will be placed on 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. If your athlete is 13 or older, we ask that you provide a list of your swimmer’s best times in the tryout application. Thanks so much for your interest in joining the Front Range Barracudas!
