Swimming
at Piranha
Whether you're just dipping your toes into technique or you're a seasoned competitor chasing personal bests, our lanes are open.
From beginner to experienced
Pick your level
Three distinct groups, there's something for everyone. All with proper coaching to get to the next level.
Swimming 3
Beginner ★☆☆
Perfect for those who have their first swimming certificates. Swimming 3 bridges the gap between basic lessons and your first competition, including technique for the four strokes, turns and starts.
Swimming 2
Intermediate ★★☆
Ramp up the intensity. Designed for swimmers comfortable with their technique who want to increase their pace. A little decrease in attention to technique, with an increase in distance per training.
Swimming 1
Expert ★★★
Our fastest training group. Proper training schedules building to performance at the competitions. Supervised by our professional head coach.
NSZKs
Perform first
Celebrate after
The Dutch Student Swimming Competitions (NSZKs) are the main events of our competitive swimming season. We travel across the country to compete against other student cities in official competitions.
But it's not just about the performances. After giving it our all between the lines, we make sure to enjoy the hosting city with a big party. It's the perfect combination of competition and party!
Regular swimming competitions
Real competitions
Actual racing
While the NSZK contains the ideal mix of competition and student life, we also offer more competitions for the dedicated swimmers.
The competitions range from small regional ones that take less than 2 hours, to for example the Pfingstschwimmfest in Nordhorn which takes a full weekend. Last season we participated in a dozen competitions in total so plenty to choose from!
There are no requirements for joining and these races are a great way to achieve your milestones and will make sure you have a lot of fun in the process!
The swimmers committee
Zwemcie
Of course we also organize activities outside the pool. This is done by the Zwemcie, a committee consisting of enthusiastic swimmers. Think of theme drinks, introduction activities, tournaments, and of course the relay competition open to every student.
They are also your contact for any questions related to the swimming branch.
