2012 Barracuda Swim Team

General Information

The Bower Hill Swim Team is led my 2010-2011 High School State Championship Coach Tom Donati and his hand-picked coaching staff (some of which are currently high school championship swimmers).  Therefore, being part of this team is  an opportunity to not only improve your swimming but having tons of fun as well.  Whether you swim all year round on a club team or have never swam competitively before and just want to be part of a swim team, Bower Hill Swim Club is for you.

The overall mission of the summer swim season at Bower Hill Swim Club is simply to have fun while gaining positive and quality instruction therefore improving as an individual swimmer.   All along the way, working toward another undefeated season and a championship victory………..GO BARRACUDAS!

Requirements:  Swimmers must be aged 5 – 17, and be able to swim one length of the pool without stopping. Distances are as follows: 25 meters, for ages10 and under, 50 meters for 11 and over. Each swimmer is placed in an age group based upon his/her age on June 1.

Practices:  Generally, practices are held Monday-Thursday from 7:00 pm – 9 pm. (Swimmers aged 8 and under, practice will end at 8:30 pm).  We only have limited practice time…please be ready to swim by the start of practice. Swimmers who attend practices on a regular basis improve their swimming, feel a part of the team and gain confidence in their swimming and meet participation.

Meets:  Generally swim meets start at 6:30 and swimmers are asked to be there in advance for warm-ups.  The specific times will be made readily available closer to the meet dates.

Competition:  Each swim meet offers a variety of events and distances, depending on the age group.  Each swimmer can compete in 2 events in any meet, 3 events to avoid scratching an event. Coaches will determine the events the swimmers swim. All swimmers participate in regular season meets.  At the Relay Meet and Championship Meet (these are in addition to the regular season meets), participation is limited.
