Featured Swimmers
Swimmers of the Week are chosen by the coaching staff each week. This honor can be awarded for many different accomplishments and achievements: good attendance, hard work, respect toward the coaching staff and other swimmers, good sportsmanship, supporting teammates, cheering, etc. Anyone can earn an award. The winners are posted poolside during the week in which the award was earned, and a Breaking News item will be posted when they are posted here.

Annual Swimmer Awards
Andrea Sams Persevering Piranha Award
This award was created to honor a swimmer that has the resolve to do great things with his or her swimming and to never give up. The swimmer may or may not be the best swimmer, but he or she is always trying harder at each meet and at each practice to be better, stronger, faster, and successful in accomplishing his or her goals.
Deborah Leeder Memorial Award
This award was created for the "most inspirational swimmer" and is generally given to a teenage swimmer. This swimmer is not necessarily the fastest swimmer, but is always willing to help others do their best.
Spirit of the Swimmer
