Waverly Piranhas Swim Club (WPSC)

WELCOME

Welcome to the official Waverly Piranhas Swim Club (WPSC) website. Please use the navigation bar at the left to take you to where you want to go. This site will be updated with the latest news and information regarding WPSC events, announcements, and activities as well as a repository of helpful links and downloadable documents (like the handbook, sign-up sheets, event listings, etc.)

The Waverly Piranhas Swim Club was established in 1964 - it is the oldest swim club in the Lansing area. All practices are held at the Waverly High School Pool in the evenings.

The only requirement to join the club is to be able to swim one length of the pool in any stroke.

Other sports promote swimming for endurance training, and coaches encourage swimming to keep their athletes conditioned between and before soccer, football, track, cross-country, and baseball.

Waverly Piranhas is a year around club divided into 4 sessions: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. A swimmer may swim any number of terms throughout the year given their own personal commitments.

MISSION STATEMENT

Waverly Piranhas Swim Club is a year-round, age group, competitive swim club designed to enhance a swimmer’s ability at their own pace, as well as to promote life long physical fitness, water safety, and well being.

UPCOMING EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Congratulations to SHELBY BECKER!

2009 Recipient of the Kirt and Deb Gundry Scholarship Award

Shelby is a graduating Waverly High School senior. She joined the Piranhas when she was in the fourth grade. Shelby feels that the Piranhas has offered her a sense of security while changing schools and looks at the Piranhas like a big family. The Piranhas has helped Shelby gain a better sense of self confidence and has shown her, first-hand, that commitment will bring reward. She also was a four year member of the Women's Varsity Swim team @ Waverly/LC. This past fall, in her senior year, her Varsity medley relay team qualified for the State Meet. She is the daughter of Tina & Curt Dewey and Tim Becker.
