Berkeley Barracudas Swim Team
I'd love to hear some recent feedback on the Berkeley Barracudas swim team that meets at King Pool. The last feedback on BPN is quite old.
What's the vibe like?
Are the coaches and kids kind and encouraging?
Did you kid(s) benefit from the coaching?

Our child has had a great time swimming with Barracudas, but understand that it is not a competitive program. It's great for teaching beginners the strokes in a fun, friendly, low pressure environment (about half play and half instruction for the most beginner group) and for providing exercise for all ages. Don't expect meets with any frequency, though. We've found the coaches to be lovely, patient, and supportive. I appreciate that my child can swim on any given day even with an inconsistent schedule and that the price is very reasonable. If my child develops an interest in swimming more seriously, we will look for a different program, however.
