Hello Team Barracuda Families,

We're less than a week away from the start of practice on Tuesday, May 26th and are excited about the upcoming season!  If you haven't yet registered your swimmer(s), please do so ASAP by clicking the black Register Now button on the right side of our home page at Home - Team Barracuda.  

Regular registration ends on Monday, May 25th.  We will still accept registrations from May 26th to June 5th, but at a $50 late registration premium per family.  

Please also see the attached document detailing the swimsuit and kickboard purchasing information for this season.  You can also find this on the website and the Facebook private group.  

Continuing with our coach introductions, this guy needs no introduction to returning families, but we are very pleased to welcome Sam Walter back for the 2026 season!  Sam is a high school math teacher at StoneBridge School and is excited to return for his third year as an assistant coach for Team Barracuda. A former Barracuda swimmer himself, Sam has been swimming for over 15 years and values creating a positive and encouraging environment for swimmers of all skill levels. He enjoys helping athletes build confidence, improve their skills, and have fun while being part of the team.

We'd like to send a special thanks to our 2026 sponsors so far.  They are Academy Animal Care, DeFeo Real Estate, Lilli Orthodontics, Nansemond Suffolk Academy, Riverfront Dentistry, Topsail Chiropractic, and TowneBank.  If you are interested in sponsoring, please shoot us an email.  

If you have any questions about anything at all, please reach out to us at [email protected].  Don't forget to check out our updated website with all of the info about practices and meets, and please request to join the Facebook Private Group here Team Barracudas Private Group | Facebook

We look forward to seeing you around the pool deck soon!
