Practice Schedule
The Agawam Piranhas fall season starts October 2014 and runs through January 2015.
Returning swimmers, please report on Monday at your last season's practice time.
We practice at the Agawam Jr. High School, Monday - Thursday from 6:00 pm - 8:15 pm. Practice times are subject to change.
Starting 10/14 until end of November
8 & under and 9-10 practice have the option to attend either 5:30-6:15 practice or the normal 6:00-7:00.
Those who come at 6 will do 15 minutes of dry land.
Age 11 and Up - 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.
If practice is cancelled for any reason, it will be posted on the calendar in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
We have practice 4 days a week to make it easy to fit your schedule. There are no mandatory attendance requirements (you can swim 1, 2, 3, or 4 nights a week), but the more time you put in, the quicker you improve. We teach all the strokes and skills necessary to be able to participate in a competitive swim meet and we try to take into account each swimmers unique personality. Note that Practices are subject to changed due to weather, holidays, etc.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR A GREAT SWIM MEET!
Bring with you: towel, flip flops, 2 swimsuits (one extra), 2 pairs of goggles, 2 swim caps, water, healthy snacks (bananas, peeled oranges, fruit bars, granola bars...keeping in mind of peanut allergies), a sharpie marker, shower supplies if you want to take a shower after your last swim, a good attitude!
Why a sharpie marker... it's a great idea for the swimmers to write their races on the outside of their hand/arm. Yes, between the chlorine and the shower after the meet it will wash off. See below for what to write.
