Swimmers 5-18 years old are welcome to join the Patrick Henry Family YMCA Piranhas. Swimmers must be able to complete the length of the pool without stopping, touching the bottom or holding on to the lane line or wall. Skilled coaching staff will help your child with stroke technique and endurance while incorporating the four core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility into their workout regimen.
