      Welcome to OfficiatingSwimming.com, our brand new website.  We see that you have found your way to our Bedford Swim Team page.  Incidentally, if you are searching for the Barracuda's "official" website you will need to click here: Bedford Swim Team.

This page is exclusively for members of the Bedford swim Team.  Even though exclusive, you are welcome to read, view, download anything you wish to your heart's desire.  The forms are of no use to you unless you intend to use them as examples/samples for your own swim team.

You may find items here such as: special featured articles on swimming, training clinics for BST only, stroke techniques, technical tips, forms, and other information pertaining to BST.  Though we try to provide a few interesting articiles to read, if you should have any good articiles or team information that you would like to provide/contribute to us to post here for all to view, please do so.  It is appreciated.
