Hello Piranhas Families!

We are now three weeks away from the start of summer swim practices!

Thanks to all families who have already registered for the upcoming 2021 season. If you haven’t already registered and would like to do so, please click here to access our online registration.

Apparel update: Please visit our ONLINE TEAM STORE, hosted by MI Sports, to shop for Piranhas team suits and gear. Note that orders must be placed by May 17 to ensure delivery in time for our first swim meet.

Meet format: Subject to public health guidelines, we are planning to have a mix of in-person and "virtual" swim meets this season. Our virtual meets will be held at the Preserve pool with Piranhas swimmers only, with the results then merged electronically with those of the opponent teams to determine final results for the meet. Please see the Calendar of Events for meet and other event dates.

Swimmingly app registration: We’ll be sending out a link in the next week or two to register on the Swimmingly meet management platform. As part of a league-wide transition to Swimmingly for the 2021 season, all Piranhas swimmers (and all other RMSL league teams) are required to register on the platform to be eligible to swim in RMSL meets this season. The cost is $10 per swimmer for the 2021 season and includes the SwimminglyFan app, which parents & family members of registered swimmers can download (through IOS/iPhone or Android app store) to receive push notifications and view mobile-friendly heat sheets and real-time meet/race results. Click here to view role-specific (timer/starter/stroke judge/scorekeeper) training videos on the Swimmingly platform.
