A Little about the Parkshore Piranhas

The Parkshore Piranhas are a summer swim team for swimmers up to age 18 that competes in the Coastal Carolina Aquatic Association (CCAA) in the Charleston, South Carolina, area. Our swimmers achieve success in the pool while developing sportsmanship, teamwork skills and goal-setting, and most importantly, having a lot of fun.

The Piranhas have been one of the most successful teams in the CCAA for much of their 30 year history. In the 2008 season, Parkshore finished in third place in the CCAA Championship meet. Three Parkshore swimmers finished in first place in four different individual events in the 2008 CCAA Championship Meet. In addition, Piranha swimmers hold CCAA league records in nine individual events and five relay events.

The Coaching Philosophy of the Parkshore Piranhas Staff:
We intend to provide instruction, motivation, challenges and fun in a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. We try to teach not only swimming skills, but also skills such as teamwork, self-discipline and goal setting. We strive to maintain a balance between participation and team success. We realize that winning is not the most important thing; however, personal and team success can be incredible motivators. We try to help swimmers set individual goals, and to set new ones when those goals are reached. We encourage each swimmer to view every practice or meet as a chance to become a better swimmer than the day before.
