Barracuda Nation,

Hope everyone had an awesome Fourth of July weekend! So much fun seeing everyone at the parade, picnic, pool, and beach park on Saturday — thanks to everyone for showing up, and to all the volunteers who helped make it such an epic Blue Ridge day.

Quick reminder: sign-ups for tomorrow's home meet against Wedgwood close at noon today.

If you can only make one meet this season, make it this one. Wedgwood is going to be our most competitive meet of the season — every swimmer who can make it helps us fill relays and go fast. Show up in your brightest and boldest for the Neon theme and let's pack the pool!

Sign up your swimmers now — check out the instructions for how to sign up if you need a refresher.

Volunteers — we still need help! Timer shifts are open to everyone — no experience necessary, and you'll get a front-row seat right in the middle of the behind-the-block energy. Here's what we still need:

• 11 Timers (3 First Half, 8 Second Half)
• 6 Concessions Helpers
• 3 Age Group Coordinators
• 11 Concession Donation items

Sign up for a volunteer shift here.

More to come ahead of the meet, but as always, reach out at [email protected] with any questions.

Go Barracudas!

2026 Swim Team Coordinators
