The Grande Prairie Piranhas had an amazing start to 2020 that would have only gotten better had it not been cut so short. The team pushed through diversity and learned to train for a water sport through zoom and excelled further. In their short training time, they were able to achieve:

• 22 swimmers attended for Spring Festival.
• 5 swimmers were to represent GPP at the Spring Provincials before their cancellation due to COVID.
• 11 swimmers were going to Spring Championships.
• 2 Swimmers qualified for Western Championships.
• 2 swimmers were attending the Junior Nationals.
• 2 swimmers qualified for Olympic Trials.
• 1 swimmer received an Invitation to Olympic trails and will hopefully be competing Spring 2021.
• 1 swimmer received a Swimming Scholarship to a Division 1 university, Indiana University.
