Swimmers who qualify for the State competition have the option to compete in TAAF's Summer Games of Texas in Corpus Christi July 29-August 1, 2021.

Coaching staff has the right to make the decision of whether or not a swimmer needs additional training before joining Piranhas. We also reserve the right to move swimmers up a level during the season depending on their improvement /skills. We want all swimmers to be safe and in appropriate skill levels to ensure the best experience for everyone.

NEW SUMMERS: Any swimmers who will be competing in swim meets MUST create a free account on our SwimTopia website in order to sign up for events at meets!
