Bubbles Developmental Program
The Barracuda Bubbles program is designed to provide young swimmers (ages 4-6) with basic swimming skills essential for continued involvement in the sport of competitive swimming. The program’s purpose is not to provide technical swim lessons; rather, it is designed to help younger children become comfortable in the water, learn some basic water skills, and have fun!
The qualifications to be a Bubble are that you are comfortable leaving your parent, can listen to instructions and can perform well in a group setting. Bubble groups are kept small with one Bubbles Coach per group. They will be grouped according to ability.
Bubbles are required to have a parent or guardian on the pool deck during the entire practice. Bubbles coaches are high school students who are members of the swim team.
Bubbles are invited to compete in a kickboard race at Saturday morning home meets and at the Woodley Mini-Meet. This is optional and a fun way to practice racing while being cheered on by the Barracudas!
Check the Barracuda website for information on registration and schedule.
