Dear Piranha Families:
What a week! From soggy relays, to sizzling grills, and lip sync performances, here are highlights in no particular order.
Lip Sync Battle 2025 (or should we say…Candy Toss 2025?) Songs were loud, candy was flying, and Lara Macdonald’s laptop is now covered in glitter.
Good evening, Piranha families -
We’re not saying this week had everything… but it kind of did: relays, backyard games, fireworks, senior celebrations, fierce races, and even a few legendary senior splash landings. Despite the packed schedule, our swimmers showed up big. We had 61 new personal bests and 8…

Dear Piranha Families -

We kicked off the week with a B Meet that felt…
Dear Piranha Families -

Dear Piranhas Families:
What a way to kick off the season! Our Piranhas brought the heat (and the hustle) to Time Trials this weekend. From fast swims and first-time races to thunder delays and blazing sun, we had a little bit of everything, and your swimmers handled it all with…
Dear Piranha Families,
We’re off to a great start! Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s smashing Cake Bake (literally, there was cake smashing...we're looking at you 11-12 boys!). It was a fun and festive kickoff to the season. We’re especially grateful to Lara Macdonald for…
