Faith | Barracuda Swim Club Instructor for the Billings and Laurel communities

Miss Faith

Owner and Founder of the Barracuda Swim Club.
Originally from Arizona, Faith discovered her true passion for swimming when she joined the swim team in grade school. Faith has a natural ability to teach children, and when she was injured while competing in high school, her focus shifted from competitive swimming to teaching. She worked as a lifeguard, swim teacher, and coach for a handful of years before moving to Montana.

Fulfilling her lifelong dream, she started the Barracuda Swim Club in Sidney, MT in 2016. In 2018 she relocated and opened in Laurel, MT. This was a wonderful move that benefited both her personal and business life. Faith is so thankful for this community and the success she has had here and she looks forward to serving the Billings and Laurel communities for many years to come.
Faith handles all management of the Barracuda Swim Club and spends 3-4 days in the pool each week teaching lessons. Although very well versed in all ages, backgrounds, and types of children, her specialty (and love) truly lies with the little fish of BSC. Infants, babies, toddlers, and preschool ages end up on Faith's schedule as often as possible! Teaching lifesaving skills to these littles truly fuels her passion for swim instruction.

Our Location

We are located at 5140 Clapper Flat Rd Laurel, MT

When you arrive, you will follow a long driveway and continue past the red barn all the way down to the pool area. The designated parking area for the pool is marked off with ropes. You will then make your way into the pool area through the first door on the right (the one with the welcome sign). Upon entering please remove debris from your shoes the best you can to keep from tracking dirt snow and debris onto the pool deck. Thank You so much for helping us keep this area clean. 

If there is snow cover on the ground, you will need a vehicle with awd/4wd/appropriate tires to access the parking area closest to the pool, it is down a little hill (past the red barn) and while no problem in the right vehicle, some cars/vehicles may be at risk to get stuck, if you are worried about this please communicate with us, it is absolutely an option to park up top by the garage and walk down.

Love Barracuda Swim Club! Faith and Gracie were fabulous with my kiddos this summer. It was the first swim lessons for both of them. My 7 year old daughter learned how to swim underwater without floats and without holding her nose that month. My now 4 year old son who has been so fearful in the water just relaxed ...
