The Junior Barracudas is NKB’s new and exciting pre-competitive, swimming skills development program. This 4 level program is technique driven; focusing on the teaching and enhancement of the foundation skills and fitness levels needed for excellence in swimming the four competitive strokes, their associated turns and starts. Coaches provide feedback throughout the program. At the end of each session swimmers are given reports on specific technical areas they have mastered and/or need to continue to develop.

Our schedule and registration process has changed from last year in that we now allow families to choose the days and times they are able to come to the pool for practice. We piloted this format in the summer to rave reviews. Please read all registration documents thoroughly to make sure you do not miss out.
