REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!! Lots of info posted!
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!
Welcome back Barracuda families! We are so excited to see you again this year.
It’s time to kick off Swim Season 2024! (Lots of information is listed below, so please read carefully.)
Registration is OPEN. Please go ahead and register as soon as possible. We are required to pay dues to SAIL the first week of May. With that said, please register your swimmer no later than May 1. Visit http://www.kwprbarracudas.swimtopia.com/ and bookmark us! Once you have registered your swimmer, get the app!
We are using last years swimsuit again this year the Speedo ST Vortex Maze in royal blue/bright green from Augusta Swim Supply. There is a link to order your swimmer’s suit in the registration process and it is also listed in the Team Store. The link is www.augustaswimsupply.com, click on login. The username is KWPR, password 1234. We will be receiving a set of suits for fitting purposes if you are unsure of what size your swimmer needs. A follow up email will be sent once the fit set is received. Suits will be shipped together once the registration deadline ends on May 1.
In order to accommodate an increase in SAIL fees, this year's registration fee will increase $120 and includes a T-shirt and swim cap (and very minimal fundraising.) If you choose NOT to pay online, payment is due within 7 days of registration. Please make your check out to KWPR Swim Team. If you do not register your RETURNING swimmer by the 1st of May, there will be a $10.00 late fee per swimmer to cover additional expenses. ALL registration fees must be paid prior to the start the first practice.
Our first practice will be on Tuesday May 7th at Knollwood Pool. This will be a land practice to begin conditioning. Please be sure your swimmer has running shoes for practice. Practice times are listed below.

Lastly, all training with be completed in person and the schedule will be posted on the SAIL Swimtopia site soon. Let's get our training done as soon as possible once that occurs. All parents must be certified in timing and one other position.
This year, we are in need all volunteers. We have a desperate need for Referees, Stroke and Turn Judges, a Chief/Head Timer. As an added incentive for those never before certified in these positions, once you complete training, certify, and work 2 meets, we will return $20.00 of swim fees paid for one swimmer to you. (Should both parents become certified in these areas, we will return this fee for up to 2 swimmers.) Contact the SAIL reps for more information.
