Baxter Ridge Barracudas get ready to swim in Chesterfield, MO. The Baxter Ridge swim team the Barracudas kicked off their preseason activities on Sunday, March 28 with sign ups at the Clubhouse. New families arrived for orientation at 1 PM followed by a meeting for returning families at 2 PM. A representative from Kids' Sportsworld was in attendance to help with team swim suit fittings.
Ever popular, the Barracudas are a force to be reckoned with. Open to all Baxter Ridge families - condos or single family homes - the Barracudas will swim five conference meets and one intrasquad meet. The intrasquad meet starts the swim meet schedule on June 7th at 5:30 PM. This intrasquad meet is new for the Barracudas. It will give new members to the team an opportunity to get a feel for swim meets before regular competition begins. If needed, time trials will be held over the next two mornings, June 8th and June 9th to make sure that all swimmers have enough timed events to qualify for the conference meet later in the summer.
The home pool for the Barracudas is the Villages at Baxter Ridge pool. Located at the intersection of Baxter Ridge Drive and Cedarmill Drive, the pool is the site of both practices and home swim meets. On home meet days, the pool will close earlier than normal to allow for the setup and execution of the meets.

•· June 7 Baxter Ridge intrasquad meet Warm ups 5 PM, Meet at 5:30 PM
