The Piranha Swim Team promotes water safety, health and fitness education and is committed to helping to save lives by providing the life skills needed to swim safely.

The Minnows School of Fish is designed for young children who are not afraid of the water, but do not have the necessary skills to swim across the pool or in deeper water.

The "School of Fish" group is also where new swimmers will learn all four strokes and gain endurance.
