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 gold level practices, the swimmer must be able to swim 200 yards continuously of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, 50 yards continuously of butterfly, and must be comfortable in deep water. Gold swimmers must have passed Swim Level 6 (or demonstrate the equivalent skill level in a tryout).
Participants who register without the proper prerequisite skills will be moved to another program if available or refunded.

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.
