About
Supporting swimmers, powered by our community
Beverley Barracudas began in 2006 at East Riding Leisure Centre, Beverley, and has been growing ever since.
We’re here to help young swimmers
aged 7–18 discover their love of the sport, develop their skills, and enjoy the excitement of competitive swimming.
Growing Together
We’re proud that some of our swimmers have gone on to compete at the British Championships — and who knows, maybe the Olympics in the future!
With over 130 competitive swimmers and growing, Beverley Barracudas is a vibrant, welcoming club. We’re excited about the future and are expanding pool time to give even more young people the opportunity to dive in and shine.
What matters to us as a club
Our Ethos
Supporting every swimmer to be the best they can be, at every level
At Beverley Barracudas, we believe swimming should be challenging, supportive, and enjoyable. Success looks different for every swimmer, and we respect that each journey is unique.
Our ethos is built around:
- Developing strong skills and confidence
- Encouraging commitment, respect, and teamwork
- Supporting long-term progress rather than short-term pressure
- Creating an environment where swimmers feel supported and motivated
Progress is guided by ability, commitment, and readiness, not age alone.
Our club is run entirely by volunteers
who care deeply about swimming and about giving every child the chance to be the best they can be — whether that means racing at county, regional, or even national level.
Safeguarding
is at the heart of everything we do. We follow Swim England’s Wavepower guidance to keep every swimmer safe and supported. All our coaches, teachers, and poolside helpers are DBS-checked and trained in swimmer welfare.
Our coaching team
is made up of dedicated volunteers who share a passion for swimming and for helping children learn, improve, and have fun. From Club Start all the way through to our Regional and National squads, we use consistent methods so that every swimmer has the best chance to grow and succeed.
