Dear Barracudas Families,

As another incredible summer comes to a close, I simply want to say thank you.

Thank you to our swimmers for their hard work, determination, and sportsmanship. Thank you to our coaches for the countless hours they invested in helping every swimmer grow. Thank you to our volunteers, officials, and parents who made every practice and meet possible. Most importantly, thank you for making the Bartram Springs Barracudas such a special community.

Whether your swimmer was brand new to the team or wrapped up another memorable Champs, we hope your family leaves this season with great memories, new friendships, and excitement for next summer.

Help Shape the Future of Our League

The St. Johns Summer Swim League would appreciate your feedback on this year's Champs meet. If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to complete the league survey:

Help Us Make the Barracudas Even Better

We would also love your feedback specifically about the Barracudas. Your suggestions help us improve the experience for swimmers and families each season.

Both surveys are short and your input is greatly appreciated.

Looking Ahead to Next Season

I'm excited to share that our current Board will be returning next season to continue building on this year's success. Thank you to our returning Board members for their continued commitment to the team:

• Lauren Ecklof
• Kelly Tieben
• Amanda Osborne
• Gary Sowell
• John Bloom

While our Board is returning, there is always room for more volunteers and new ideas. Whether you're interested in serving on the Board, helping on a committee, or simply becoming more involved throughout the season, we'd love to hear from you. Many of the improvements we've made over the past few years have come directly from parents who stepped forward to help.

Our next Board meeting will be Thursday, August 6, as we wrap up the 2026 season and begin planning for 2027. If you're interested in becoming more involved, please reach out—we'd love to have you join us.

Thank you again for an amazing season. We hope everyone enjoys a wonderful rest of the summer, and we look forward to seeing all of our returning families back on deck next year!

Go Barracudas!
