Piranhas Off-Season Swim Team
Youth and Teen fitness swim group
At the JCC in Northwest Austin

Join experienced coaches Lori Beilinson and Lisa Denison at the heated JCC Pool in Northwest Austin (map link below).  This is a swim group designed for those swimmers that want to continue swimming after the summer season, but cannot commit to the rigorous schedule of year-round swimming.  The Piranhas Off Season Swim Team offers solid swimming technique instruction and interesting workouts without the pressure of swim meets.  This is fun and fitness for the after school swimmer that wants to stay in the water 1-4 times per week, allowing a schedule of other activities.  Kids age 7-18 are welcome (prior summer league experience recommended).

ALL NEW swimmers to this group ages 7-10 who have never swam with either Coach Lori or Coach Lisa must be cleared by a coach for registration approval. This is a fitness swimming group that requires good competency in at least 2 strokes and the ability to complete a minimum of 50 meters without assistance. Please do not register until you have arranged for a 10 minute skill demonstration with Coach Lisa or Coach Lori and been cleared to swim in the group. Coaches must be contacted in advance - please do not show up unnannounced on a scheduled practice day without making arrangements via email. March and April are filling up FAST, so don't wait. There are NO EXCEPTIONS made or refunds given once registered. 

Be a "POLAR PIRANHA" and swim with us through April!

It's cool to swim in the winter and spring!

Equipment Needed for Swimmers:

Each swimmer needs to have their own equipment for EVERY practice.  The equipment required is:  a fitted pair of googles, swim cap (even boys, it helps prevent heat loss in the winter!), and swim FINS.  Fins should have a full boot, not just a back strap (like scuba fins), and should fit the child snuggly.  Please clearly marked all equipment in permanent ink with the child's name.  These items can be purchased at the Lane 4 Swim Shop (183 & Burnet), or 1379 Kid's Shop (Exposition, south of 35th),  and should be brought to EVERY practice.  Tell Lane 4 Swim Shop that you are with the Piranhas Swim Team to receive a 10% discount.  For more descriptions and information on these items, see the parent information form (link above). 

CODE OF CONDUCT SIGNED BY SWIMMERS AND PARENTS:  please bring the last page of the "parent info. and code of conduct file" (link above) to the first day of practice - signed by the swimmer and parent.
