As we all know, summer season is here, which means the Plains Piranhas are back in action.

Though it has been difficult without a pool, we have been making practices work on dry land. We have just attended out first meet of the season in Hamilton, Mt. For having no pool to practice in, I myself, as a coach, am very proud of the team.

Every individual shaved off time over the weekend. For having such a young team there is potential and energy in each individual swimmer. Considering we have no pool we achieved above and beyond what any parent or coach expected.

Next weekend we swim at Cut Bank where we hope to excel just as much if not more. The 26 and 27 of June is our home meet so please come out and support our local kids.
