Welcome!

Barracuda Swimming has been a part of the Wenatchee Valley for 30 years. Barracudas originated in 1976 as a summer-only program called the Eastmont Swim Team. When the pool was covered in the late seventies, the Eastmont Swim Team became a year-round USA program called the Barracudas. Coaches Jack and Jeanne Davisson led the Cudas to multiple championships through the 80's, 90's and into the 21st century. In 2005, the Davisson's handed the reins to new coach Bob Hill.

Barracuda Swimming accepts  new swimmer registrations all year long.

Sylvia’s Swimwear Team Store

March 19th, 2010 Comments off

Finally what you've all been waiting for—our Sylvia's Swimwear team store is up and running! You can go right to our team page, or if you prefer, login to Sylvia's Swimwear and follow the login instructions below. If you have any problems you can contact Sylvia's Team Sales department directly or Michele Townliand for assistance.

A few notes on the store: we have selected a new team suit. Due to complaints about the old lycra suit wearing out quickly, we have switched to a more durable polyester suit. It is plain royal blue and will have the CUDA logo on it. There are two different styles available for girls and jammers or briefs for boys. Sizing charts are available on the Sylvia's website. If your swimmer wants a technical suit, Sylvia's has those, too. Due to the delicate material they can't be printed with our logo. If possible pick one in royal blue.

Newly available are team logo caps with the swimmer's name—check them out!

For embroidered items such as bags, warm-ups, and deck coats we must have a minimum of six items to get our logo added. If we don't get enough orders, you can take your items to GPA Embroidery or Silk Screen Printers in Wenatchee and have the logo and names added at your own expense.

Items should be here before the Apple Capital meet the first of June. ORDERS ARE DUE BY MONDAY APRIL 12!
