Red Piranha Swimming is a USA Swimming registered club and we travel across the Southeastern LSC to compete against other club swimmers. Travel meets are scheduled every month with two Southeastern Championships per year. We recommend our swimmers attend as many competitions as possible because we believe the experience from racing builds character and develops more seasoned athletes.

RPS also competes in the East Tennessee Summer Swim League, (ETSSL). These meets are local one day 2-4 hour competitions which do NOT require long travel with overnight hotel stays and 2-3 day competitions. This league is a fun chance for local swimmers to compete as a team with their friends and family watching the events. ETSSL trains and competes in the summer April-July.
