Fall/Winter Season: September 2nd, 2025 - February 27th 2026

This takes place entirely indoors in a 25 yard, or "short course" pool. 

Spring/Summer Season: March 30th, 2026 - July 17th, 2026

This season takes place partially indoors, and once school is out, partially outdoors at a 50-meter, or "long course" pool (as you see in the Olympics) 

New swimmers may join at any time by requesting an evaluation. You can also join at the start of each season with our Tryout Clinic.

Evaluations take place before or after a Barracuda team practice; new swimmers can begin with the club immediately after evaluation. All new swimmers have a 2-week free trial. 

Excited to swim with us!? 

Schedule your swimmer's evaluation and determine which swim group you fit in. 

Registration consists of two parts:

1. Team Registration, including accepting the season dues as well as reading and signing embedded waivers 
2. USA Swimming Registration - IMPORTANT: All swimmers are required to be in good standing to compete in meets and for team insurance purposes.  Register for USA Swimming Here

Interested in competitive swim? 

The Barracuda Aquatics Club offers the CUDA Swim Tryouts at the beginning of each Season, open to any level of swimmers ages 6 and up. Try for 3 nights to improve your skills and experience competitive swim with no commitments.

Why come: 

The tryout clinic prepares young swimmers to join Barracuda Aquatics Club or if you are not sure about the swim team immediately the tryout will give your swimmer/s good basic swim technique to help improve their stroke and confidence in the water. 

What to expect:

3 classes, 45 minutes each
Olson Middle School, Bloomington MN

At the end of each tryout/clinic session the student will receive a Certificate of Placement that states what level of Barracuda Aquatics Club the student may join. Swimmers can join at any time in the upcoming season.
