Morning, Barracuda Family.

I am so happy to announce that registration is open for the 2026 summer season.  I am sending to this email to all members from the previous season, and I will post it on the webpage.  Please communicate with any new families who might be interested.

(1)  REGISTRATION

We will use rwb.swimtopia.com for all registration, communication and meet and practice information this year.  When you go to the website, click on "Register Now" to start the process.  There, you can register your swimmers, order t-shirts and pay.

(2)  TEAM STORE

We have a team store where you can buy all the gear you want.  Please visit

https://stores.athletesmark.com/ridgewood_barracudas/shop/home

to purchase all things Barracuda.  The team store is live now, and we will keep it open until May 18.

(3)  PRACTICE and MEET SCHEDULE

The meet schedule is posted on swimtopia.  Note that we will not have a meet on the weekend of July 4.  The practice schedule is posted, too.  There are no changes to our practice schedule from last year.

(4)  LITTLE CUDAS

We will run the world famous Little Cuda program for all swimmers who cannot complete a full lap of the pool yet.  We will NOT open registration for the Little Cuda program until after Memorial Day weekend.  On Memorial Day weekend, the coaches will be at the pool (times TBA) to assess swimmers.  Once the assessment is complete, we will open registration for the program.  Assessments will be required for all swimmers interested in the Little Cuda program.

(5)  OPEN HOUSE

We will offer an Open House on Sunday, April 19 from 3-5pm at the Tall Oaks Community Center.  There, you can meet (or re-meet) the coaches, try on suits and learn about the volunteer requirements. 

(6) SWIMMER COACHES

We will offer swimmer-coach positions to current swimmers (16 and over).  This program will start when we switch to morning practices.  Swimmer coaches get a significant discount on enrollment.  Interested swimmers should email me.

(7)  FINAL THOUGHTS

Not going to lie - when I drove past our pool yesterday, the tarp was off and I got excited.  There is nothing like summer swim - and no team like this one.

Thanks,

John Facciola (Head Coach)
