Age Group Championships @ Wesleyan University, 3/11-3/14
On Thursday the Piranhas head up to Wesleyan for what for most will be the last meet of the short course season. Please make note of the warm-up times and volunteer assignments. The times listed below are either the warm-up time or times we need you on deck. Scratch sheets are due by 7:30a, (15 minutes after warm-up starts) each morning and 12:45p each afternoon regardless of which warm-up we have. If you are not on deck at this time or have contacted a coach that you are running late, you will be scratch with no hope of getting back in the meet. Please do not put the coaches in the position of guessing. Although our volunteer requirement is small, because we have a small number of swimmers attending, we will need all parents to volunteer in some capacity. As indicated below we need coordinators and timers. Please contact Nora Baker nemeklibaker@yahoo.com , if you can coordinate a session, or the designated coordinator if you can time. Please note if your swimmer makes finals, they are expected to attend, and you may be needed to volunteer.
Attire: Yellow 'P' caps all weekend. Blue shirts Thur and Sun. New Yellow shirt on Sat, regular yellow shirts on Fri. Please be sure your swimmer arrives on time and in Piranha Gear only.
Emergency #: Get the cell of another swimmer at the meet. New England YMCA Championships @ Harvard Univeristy, 3/12-3/13
On Friday the 12/U Piranhas will be headed to Harvard University to compete in the YMCA New England Championships!! Please note there will be an admission for each session:
Admission: Adults - $5.00/session children - $3.00/session For each session there is a separate swimmer check-in time and a warm up time. Please have your Piranhas arrive close to the beginning of the check in time. The line grows long pretty fast during the check in time and the earlier the check in, the better. Also, please note that parents/spectators will not be allowed in the building until the designated spectator seating opens. Your swimmers will check in and will then be directed to the pool area to meet the rest of the team for warm-up. Please be on time!

CT Regionals @ New Canaan YMCA, 2/26-2/28
The Piranhas made the short trip up to New Canaan for this years short course Regional Championships. After months of hard work, the Piranhas came in ready to swim fast! Throughout the weekend there were many great swims and a lot of personal bests. Along with swimming fast, team spirit was very high as our swimmers were constantly cheering each other on. As a team, the Piranhas had several Regional Champions. In the 10/U boys division Kevin Grune won the 50 FR, Alex Dehmel won the 50 FLY, and the 200 FR Relay of Alex Clark, Ben Zhao, Alex Dehmel, & Kevin Grune also took the top spot! In the 11/12 girls division, Phoebe Slaughter won the 50 BK & 100 BR. The 13/14 girls division saw Elizabeth Kearney win the 100 & 200 BR and our 400 Medley Relay of Julia Stobbie, Elizabeth Kearney, Emily Molinelli, & Francesca Milewski won a very exciting race! In the15-18 division Caroline Kearney took the top spot in the 100 FLY & 400 IM and Hadley Merrill took first in the 1650. As always, our parent volunteers did a great job all weekend! Thank you to Gigi Kearney, Erica Merrill, Matt Marion, and Martin Milewski for officiating this meet. Great job to all Piranhas, you definitely made us proud! Results are posted.
