Can my swimmer continue on at Briarcliff Woods Beach Club (BWBC)?
- BWBC will allow some SCC swimmers with seniority to continue on as a Barracuda. This is at their discretion and not under our control. Their policy is:
- The “legacy rule” will allow select Barracuda alumni swimmers to remain on the BWBC Barracudas team if they choose to and meet the legacy rule qualifications. The qualifications are: SCC pool members who are 11 years of age or older on May 31st, 2026, AND have at least 4 years of history swimming with the Barracudas. If one swimmer in your family meets these qualifications, siblings are also allowed to join, allowing your family to be part of one swim team.
