Swim Meet Sign Up

It is mandatory for all swimmers to RSVP for swim meets to confirm if they will or will not be participating.  The line ups must be finalized and submitted in advance.

It is helpful to complete the forms as soon as your swimmer knows if they plan to attend or not.  You may complete attendance for all swim meets at the beginning of the season and make necessary changes by the final RSVP deadline.

If you do not RSVP, it will be assumed your swimmer is not attending.  They will not be assigned races in the line up.  Last minute swimmers that drop from a line up are difficult on our coaching staff and affect other swimmers opportunity for meet participation.  Please edit your RSVP form or text 440-225-0198 with any RSVP changes.

Meet Participation Forms.  Please save your email receipt to make necessary edits.

Swim Meet RSVP will post here when available.

Team Swim Suits

The Piranhas swimsuits are available at Swim Outlet.  They offer multiple swimsuit options for towels and goggles recommended by our swimmers.

Please make sure to order your swim gear early to ensure it arrives in time to start the summer.  Swimsuits are optional, but encouraged for team unity.  Swimsuits from previous years that fit may be worn year after year!

Swimsuit donations:  We collect swimsuits from previous years to pass down to our younger swimmers.  Available resale swimsuits will be sold for a $10 donation to support the FPST.  If you have a swimsuit in good condition that no longer fits, please drop it off to 9256 Patterson Lane (Woodgate Farms).  You may leave it in a bag on the front porch.

You should order your swimmers suit directly from our Team Shop at  SwimOutlet by June 1st to ensure it fits for our first swim meet.  There is a size chart on the website for assistance.

Attendance

Practices 

It is important that your child attend as many scheduled practices as he/she is able to build & strengthen their strokes.  Daily practice is encouraged, but not required.  You know what is best for your swimmer!

  • Children ages 9 and under practice Monday through Friday from 9:00 - 10:00 am.
  • Children age 10 may attend either practice time.
  • Children ages 11 and up practice Monday through Friday from 10:00 - 11:00 am.
  • Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your practice start time.
  • Friday practices include fun team building games at the end of practice and donuts.

Swim Meets - RSVP is REQUIRED by the deadline.  No exceptions. 

  • Parents are required to RSVP all swimmers to confirm if they will or will not be able to compete in each meet.  Meet sign ups with a deadline will be posted.
  • If your swimmer is not signed up by the deadline, coaches will NOT assign them a race in the line up.  Swim line ups are prepared in advance by our coaching staff.  If a swimmer is not signed up by the deadline, it is assumed they will not be participating in the meet.   
  • Attendance RSVP changes create difficulties for a swim meet.  If your child is signed up for a meet and unable to attend, please text 440-225-0198 as soon as you know.  We will attempt to fill their spot(s).  A swimmer that misses a meet limits other swimmers opportunity to participate in both individual and relay races.  
  • Coaches will give priority to swimmers regularly attending practices, but we do our best to ensure all swimmers have the opportunity to compete as much as possible.

Meet Locations

Our home meets are held at the Falls Pointe Pool.  Away meets are held at various pools in the area,  Click the name of the pool for detailed directions and a map.
