Programs
The Oakland Barracudas offer programs for swimmers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
The Oakland Barracudas are excited to announce the start of a year-round Learn-to-Swim program for children ages 4 and up. Classes will be announced.
The Junior Swim League, offered each fall, introduces young swimmers to the basics of competitive swimming.
Our Age Group Program – which includes the Bronze, Silver, and Gold squads – focuses on encouraging swimmers ages 5 and up to participate in competitive swimming while developing competitive swimming skills and stroke technique, as well as conditioning and endurance. Age Group swimmers compete at the local and regional levels.
The Senior Program includes the Senior I, Senior II, and National squads. While technique and mechanics continue to be emphasized, endurance training becomes a more prominent focus. As swimmers progress through the Senior Program, they are encouraged to increase their commitment to swimming. Senior swimmers participate in competitive meets at the local and regional levels, with the most advanced swimmers also competing at the national level.
The Masters Swim Team offers a variety of opportunities to adult swimmers. Masters coaches provide professional instruction to swimmers, who practice on weekdays in the early morning, some evenings, and on Saturday. Some swimmers compete at the Masters level, while others focus on swimming for fitness.
