Beverley Barracudas Swimming Club was established in 2006 at East Riding Leisure, Beverley. It is the club’s aim to promote competitive swimming and to train young swimmers from the age of seven upwards to the highest possible standard. The club is run entirely by volunteers who are passionate about swimming and enabling each child to achieve their potential; whether at league, county, regional or national level.
Beverley Barracudas Swimming Club competes in several leagues . We have opened up a new Humber League which currently consists of beverley Barracudas, Louth Dolphins, Pocklington Dolphins, Scunthorpe Anchor and Cleethorpes & District (CADS) We are also part of the Hull & District Swimming Association, taking part in galas throughout the year.
The club has held Swim England’s prestigious Swim Mark (formerly Swim 21) status since 2015, a quality standard for clubs which recognises high standards of governance, sustainability and effectiveness. The Swim Mark accreditation requires adherence to strict criteria for child welfare and safeguarding as well as high standards of coaching and teaching. In accordance with Swim Mark, the club has adopted the ASA Wavepower document for swimmer welfare.
The Barracudas have 6 ASA level 2 coaches and 4 Level 2 teachers supported by level 1’s and poolside helpers. From Club Start to our Regional and National Squads a consistent teaching and coaching method is implemented to ensure the best possible outcomes for the swimmers. We are proud that we have provided swimmers that compete at the British Championships in 2021, 2022 and 2023 with some excellent talent coming through our pathways.
The club has strong ambitions to become the club of choice in the area with over 150 compeitive swimmers and growing. We are continuing to expand and increase pool time to facilitate this giving all levels the right amount of time for needs. Adding an excellent professional dryland programme we are in the right position reach all our swimmers potential.
