Baxter Barracudas

“I am honored to be part of the Baxter Barracudas community - a summer tradition almost as old as the neighborhood itself. A place where friends are made, youth are active, and community spirit thrives. If we haven’t yet met in the neighborhood or at a Barracudas meet, we may have met poolside through my years as a swim instructor and coach with the Rays swim team. Caden Wolf, our Barracudas assistant coach, and I look forward to seeing you on deck as our swimmers race their best this summer. Go, Barracudas!”

I am thankful for the opportunity to continue with the Baxter Barracudas from swimmer to now assistant coach. I have spent the last 15 years swimming for Baxter Barracudas, Fort Mill high school, UPYMCA Rays and Berry College. I’m looking forward to a winning season!

I’m Jonah Huffman, and I’m going to be a Junior Coach this season for Barracudas. I’ve done Rays for 5 years now, and have been volunteering at their Mini Rays meets for Chik-Fil-A fun and experience (but mostly the latter). This will be my 9th year on Barracudas, and second as a coach after being a Coach In Training last year. Thanks!

I’m on the Fort Mill High School varsity track and cross country team. This will be my 9th year with the Barracudas and my 3rd year coaching.

I am so excited to be coaching again this year!! This will be my 3rd year coaching with the Barracudas. In my free time I am also a coach at Impact ONE Allstars in Indian Land and a Fort Mill Varsity cheerleader! I’m currently a junior and about to go into my senior year at FMHS. I want to be a pediatric occupational therapist in the future and I love helping kids! I’m so excited to be returning!!

I’ve been on Barracudas since I was 8. My favorite stroke is backstroke. I’ve been on the FMHS swim team for 2 years now. I am so excited to coach this season.
