The Art and Science of Swimming



New England Barracudas



Sophie Gavell gets ready to sprint at the end of a CUDA COMP Team practice at Regis College.

At New England Barracudas, we use an individual approach to develop each swimmer, taking the time to plan both short and long term programs. Barracuda swimmers are outstanding individuals. They are not only great athletes, but are scholar athletes who take the time to be actively involved in their communities. Our long term developmental strategy encourages proper social, emotional, spiritual and academic growth while guiding physical, technical and emotional development.

DART PRE-COMPETITIVE PROGRAM

BRONZE GROUP: Two days per week: 5:30-6:15 PM or 6:15-7:00 PM. This program is designed to be a swimmer's first introduction to the world of competition.
