About This Activity
Description
The Plano Piranhas is a youth recreational swim team dedicated to providing swimmers with a "taste" of competitive swimming. The Piranhas participate in the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation's (TAAF) swim meets offered across North Texas throughout the summer season and have the opportunity to compete in TAAF's Winter Games of Texas in January. Competing in swim meets is not required but encouraged. Swimmers who have not previously participated in Plano Parks & Recreation swim lessons must try out before registering. Swimmers planning to compete during the summer must not register for more than 2 practices per week to comply with TAAF eligibility rules.To register for bronze level practices, the swimmer must be able to swim 50 yards continuously of freestyle and backstroke and must be comfortable in deep water. Bronze swimmers must have passed Swim Level IV (or demonstrate the equivalent skill level in a tryout), and knowledge of all four competitive strokes is highly recommended.To register for silver level practices, the swimmer must be able to swim 100 yards continuously of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, and must be comfortable in deep water. Silver swimmers must have passed Swim Level V (or demonstrate the equivalent skill level in a tryout), and knowledge of all four competitive strokes is required. Participants who register without the proper prerequisite skills will be moved to another program if available or refunded. Please check planopiranhas.swimtopia.com for more information.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.
There will not be practice March 11th, 2023.
