Adult Meet
What Is the Adult Meet?
The Adult Meet is a GSSSL annual swim meet just for adults — parents, alumni, coaches, and any adult connected to the Barracuda community. It's a fun mix of individual and relay events, including short races (25s), one long race (500 Free), and men's, women's, and mixed relays. Highlights over the years have included all-coach relays, multi-generational family relays, recent Barracuda graduates testing whether they've still got their racing gears, and a current Barracuda swimmer serving as “adult age group coordinator” for the grown-ups. Swimmers of all abilities and ages are welcome — it's one of the best celebrations of community all season.

Age Divisions (Just for the Curious)
Swimmers are scored within their age division, not against the whole field. Individual events use standard five-year Masters brackets (18–24, 25–29, 30–34, and on up through 80+). Relay events use broader combined brackets (18+, 25+, 35+, 45+, 55+, 65+), determined by the youngest swimmer on the relay.
