Congratulations, Piranhas, on a fun and successful meet. Follow @plattecanyonpiranhas on Instagram for team photos from the day. Please note we will be requesting your swim photos towards the end of the season to create a 2024 slideshow to present at the banquet. Please take photos during meets! All types of photos are welcome - individuals, action shots, relays, candids.

There’s a lot of information this week!

Family Mailboxes

Start checking your family mailboxes. One large plastic file bin with your family’s file folders will be sitting on the picnic tables under the pavilion. Starting this week, the mailboxes will have ribbons and speeding tickets for your swimmers. Speeding tickets are earned each time a swimmer completes a new race without a disqualification and each time a swimmer beats their previous time. Hold on to those speeding tickets! The speeding tickets are currency for the speeding ticket store. Store dates are to be determined.

Next Saturday’s meet is away at Governor’s Ranch with Bear Creek. The meet starts at 7am. Coach Frankie will send out warm up times. Volunteers please check in by 6:45am and attend the meet’s timer and stroke and turn judge meeting.
