The Sopris Barracudas offer a year-round swim program to young people who live in Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, and nearby communities. The team exists to provide an opportunity for young people to learn about and participate in competitive swimming.  We are celebrating our 39th year and our philosophy is for every swimmer to be prepared to compete to the maximum of his or her ability, and to have fun doing so.  We train at the Glenwood Springs Community Center, at 5763 feet.  

The Sopris program offers five practice levels : Rapid Classes I-V.  On joining the team, Coach Damon
will evaluate your swimmer and determine his/her appropriate practice level.  White is the beginning level of our progra
m, and the proficiency of the swimmers increases at each level, with corresponding increase in the practice time and intensity.  We are members of USA Swimming; Colorado Swimming (CSI); and the Western Slope League.
