Our swimmers range in age from Pre-Team (typically under 8 years old) to 18. Swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted in order to be on the team.
The Boulder Barracudas emphasize a balance of fun and competition, knowing that striking this balance is different for each swimmer and family. Swimmers have the opportunity to participate in a number of events throughout the summer that serve to bond them together as a team, such as visits to Water World, a team potluck and talent show, age group parties, and an End of Season Party. Younger swimmers have older "Buddies" that provide encouragement and support during practice and meets. The younger buddies' duties are to cheer for their older buddies!
Our swim team participates in six dual meets in June and July, culminating in Prelims and Finals, which will be held July 20th - July 25th in 2009. Additional meet opportunities are the Hot Shot/Long Shot and Pentathlon meets in June and July.
You may register to be on the Pre-Team or Team by visiting the City Parks and Recreation Website or by calling (303) 413-7270 or 303-441-4400.
