The Barracudas were so happy to be back in our home pool tonight as we hosted our second meet against the Florissant Fish~good weather, good competition~it was a fun night!

Bellefontaine has had a few setbacks with our pool this season, and it’s taken a lot of work by several key members of our staff to get this old girl up and running! But look at her now~she is beautiful!
This special place holds wonderful memories for the many families who grew up in this area. Is it too much to hope that it lasts forever?
Cheers to the new generation of Barracudas who call the Bellefontaine Recreation Center their home!

We had a great first morning of practice and look forward to seeing more of our swimmers this evening! This year we are doing an online team store as a fundraiser for our program. Who doesn't love Barracuda merch?! The online shop will be open until Sunday 6/22. After all orders are placed, it will take 2 weeks to come in. You can select for orders to be shipped to your home for an additional fee, or you can select "pick up with coach" and they will be shipped to the Rec Center.

In the swimming pool world, Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of the summer season. This year, we will begin differently~it’s chilly and rainy and our outdoor pool is waiting for repairs. But here in Bellefontaine, the Barracudas will always look for that silver lining!
We are thankful for the other teams in the league who were willing to change the meet schedule around to accommodate us.
We are thankful for our indoor pool where we will be able to have water and dry land practices. We’ll be more crowded but that will bond us closer as a team.
We are thankful for our coaching staff~Elle, Olivia, Grace, Xavier and returning coach Kelvin who are all fully committed and excited to overcome this obstacle and make this season a success!
We are thankful for the many new families who are joining us this season~word of mouth has spread that we have a really good thing going here at the BN Rec Center.
Mostly we are thankful for the wonderful families, current and past who are supporting our team. We appreciate you!

Registration is coming in and it’s so good to see the response. We will officially begin practices Tuesday, June 3rd.
