Swim Test
- Each spring we offer a FREE swim test at the Baxter Close YMCA so parents can gauge their swimmers ability to join the team prior to registration opening
- Swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted, without touching the sides or bottom of the pool in less than 90 seconds
- The swim test is NOT REQUIRED to join the team if you know your swimmer already meets these requirements

Refunds
- There are many contributing factors applied to the refund policy. The Coaching staff, insurance, t-shirt, caps among other things are factored in to how much it cost to run each swim season
- A FULL REFUND will be given if a swimmer no longer wants to participate for any reason up to ONE WEEK after the season has started. For example – If practices start on May 15, we will honor refunds up until May 22.
- After the first full week of practices, a 50% REFUND up to TWO WEEKS after the season has started. For example - If practices start on May 15, we will honor refunds up until May 29
- After the second week of practices have been completed NO REFUNDS will be provided
- A full week of practices is determined based on the calendar dates and not the days the swimmers are in the pool which means if a practice is cancelled due to weather/temperature the date count is still applied
- Any purchases of swimsuits and/or personalized swim caps will need to be refunded through the supplier directly and not the Barracudas Board.
