BARRACUDA SWIM CLUB
OF NORTHEAST TENNESSEE
      

NEW SWIMMERS

Welcome! The Barracuda Swim Club is happy to welcome you to a sport that provides each child with opportunities to improve as an athlete and a person.  It is well-documented that swimmers, as a group, tend to be more disciplined, get better grades in school, and have an advantage over their peers when assimilating life-skills such as goal-setting, perseverance, sharing, and personal responsibility.

Getting Started

Each swimmer on the team is assigned to a practice group based on his/her abilities and level of commitment.  Advancement from one group to another will occur when the swimmer has met the physical requirements and understands the personal responsibility associated with the new group.  The coach will approve any changes in groups.

First, determine which training site is best for you.  Both our Johnson City and Kingsport locations provide professional coaching and a full program for our members.  Use the button on the left to find out practice times and locations for our sites.

Second, contact the coach to arrange a try-out.  The coach will evaluate the swimmer and determine what training group best meets his/her needs.  A detailed explanation of our training groups is available HERE.

Third, take a one week free trial, if you wish.  New swimmers may try our program for free for one week if they are a bit nervous about joining immediately.  Due to US Swimming procedures, however, a USA Swimming application must be filled out and a check for the USA Swimming registration must be held during this trial period.  The deposit will be returned to you should you choose not to join the club.

Fourth, complete the BSC Payment Plan Choice Form and the Parent Involvement and Interest Form.  Pay your initial payment.

NOTE:  All applications and forms can be found on our FORMS PAGE on this website.

Fifth, come to practice, learn a lot, meet new friends, and enjoy being a Barracuda!
