Join our USA Swimming team, where champions are built both in and out of the pool.

Our philosophy

Current practice schedule

Live

Every group's practices this week, with the lanes each one has. The filter row under the calendar narrows it to your swimmer's group.

The calendar shows time in the water. The times the coaches post include dryland, so a “3:30–4:30 (includes final 15 minutes dryland)” practice is 3:30–4:15 here. Full practice schedule →

The summary cards that were here show two groups each and hide the rest. The page listed each level as one or two lines and then “+ 1 more groups” or “+ 3 more times”, sending parents to a second page for the rest. The calendar shows every group and every time at once, and it shows what the cards could not:
  • Monday afternoons on October 19 and 26 belong to Burlingame High water polo matches. There are no Barracuda, Age Group or Junior practices those afternoons.
  • October 24–25 is a swim meet, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM both days, with the whole pool.

Ready to join BAC?

BAC holds three tryouts per year, before the Fall, Winter and Spring/Summer seasons: usually the last week of August, mid-December and mid-April. A coach will reach out in the weeks leading up with more information.

  1. Complete the tryout request form with your swimmer's information and experience.
  2. Attend an evaluation session where coaches assess technique, endurance and skill.
  3. Receive a group placement recommendation and registration information.
