Bayou Black Tarpons swim team This is a page for the Bayou Black Tarpons swim team. A summer league team in Houma, LA. Trying to give another way to get info out to you guys!

This swim team is open to anyone age 4-18 who is interested in competitive swimming. The age is determined by how old they are on 5/1 of the swimming year. Registration is $55 for the 1st child, $50 for the 2nd, & $45 per child after that. We will assess all new swimmers to determine if they are swim team ready, but here is a guide to go by to help you decide whether to try swim team, or possibly swim lessons instead:

(Age group is determined by your child's age on May 1st)

6&Under (4-6): Freestyle- swimmer must be able to put face in the water & swim moving arms & legs on the stomach in any manner. The swimmer must be able to breathe independently head up, to the side, or by flipping to the back, & then continue to swim on stomach. The swimmer may stop occasionally. Backstroke- must be able to comfortably swim on back moving arms & legs in some manner. The swimmer may stop occasionally.

8&Under (7-8): Freestyle- must be able to swim and breathe on his/her own with little to no stopping. Backstroke- must be able to swim on back with little to no stopping.

9&Over: Freestyle- swim across pool breathing to the side or head up without stopping. Backstroke- swim across pool without stopping. Breaststroke- general knowledge
Butterfly- general knowledge

If your child meets the above criteria you can give swim team a try. We hold practices 4 days per week. We will instruct the kids in swim team terminology, stroke technique, dives & turns. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Please help us give a HUGE congratulations to one of our swimmers. Ashur Breaux was chosen to represent Louisiana in the USA Games for Special Olympics in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, and the 100 backstroke. Wednesday many of his Bayou Black and Terrebonne teammates gathered last Wednesday to wish him luck before he headed to Minneapolis Friday.

Yesterday he swam prelims in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Today he swam finals and placed 2nd overall 🥈 in the 200 freestyle for his division and 1st overall 🥇 in the 100 backstroke for his division setting personal best times in both events.

Tomorrow he will swim prelims for the 500 freestyle with Finals on Thursday. They are airing the races live on ESPN plus.

Ashur, we are so PROUD of your accomplishments! Good luck tomorrow!
