Wrapping up another fun season for the Barracudas!
July 15th
Dear Barracuda Families,
Just like that, another Barracuda season is coming to an end! While we may not have finished the season with all of the wins we hoped for, there is so much to celebrate and be proud of.
Week after week, it was incredible to watch our swimmers grow in confidence, improve their technique, challenge themselves, and cheer one another on. Perhaps even more importantly, we watched friendships grow, new swimmers become part of the Barracuda family, and returning swimmers continue to mentor and encourage those around them. Those are the moments that truly define a successful season.
A swim team is only possible because of the many volunteers who give their time and energy each week. On behalf of the entire program, thank you to our Bentwinds Barracuda Committee for their countless hours of planning and leadership throughout the season:
We would also like to extend a special thank you to the families who stepped up time and time again to fill volunteer gaps throughout the season, exceeding the 3 required shifts. Your willingness to help wherever needed embodies the spirit of our team. Thank you to:
The Barracudas are much more than a swim team. We are a community, and it is because of each of you that our swimmers have such a positive and memorable experience year after year, and we look forward to celebrating this Friday evening.
Thank you to everyone who RSVPed for our Awards Pool Party. The agenda for the evening is:
Go Barracudas!
