Good afternoon Piranha families,

Although we had a tough loss today (378–405) against the Cloppers Mill Marlins, the coaches are incredibly proud of the effort, races, and sportsmanship shown by our swimmers. Meet results can be found here.

You may have noticed a new tradition we introduced at our B meet and continued today: Best Time Piranhas! Sometimes it’s not about the place you finish, but about improving on your previous performance. To encourage this mindset, swimmers who came to the coaches for feedback and achieved a best time were awarded a tiny piranha prize.

This initiative serves two important goals:

1. Encouraging swimmers to seek immediate feedback from coaches while the race is fresh in our minds.
2. Getting swimmers in the habit of asking timers for their times and focusing on their personal improvement.

Upcoming Meet:
We have a home B meet this Wednesday against Whetstone.📝 Meet sign-up is now open and closes at 5 PM on Monday.
Please remember:

• Swimmers may not repeat an event they swam in the A meet—except for Freestyle.
• If your swimmer did not place in the top 5 for Freestyle at the A meet, they may swim it again on Wednesday.

A Meet Declarations – Please Read!
It’s that time again…👉 PLEASE declare your swimmer’s availability for ALL A meets, including Relay Carnival and Divisionals, NOW.
We had to make changes to this week’s lineup due to missing declarations, and it truly breaks my heart to have to tell a swimmer we can’t get them into an event once the lineup is set.
I’ll be working on tentative relays this week and can only consider swimmers who have declared availability.

Beaver Dam Trip – Monday
A reminder that we’ll be heading to Beaver Dam for a team outing on Monday!🏊 There will be no regular practice, but those attending will still get plenty of swimming in.
Details about the trip are available on our team page.
(While you're there… don't forget to declare for all A meets!)

Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Have great weekend!

Coach Jenni
