The Hercules Piranhas Swim Team (HPST) is a recreational swim program serving youth ages 5 to 18, swimming during the spring and summer seasons. We are committed to creating a fun, supportive, and competitive environment where swimmers develop teamwork, dedication, and confidence.  Through practices, dual and invitational meets, and team events, we focus on building strong swimming fundamentals while helping athletes grow both in and out of the water. 

Practice groups are based on swimming ability, not age. This ensures each swimmer gets the appropriate level of coaching and allows us to make the best use of pool space and time.

New swimmers will complete a simple swim assessment (swimming 25 yards unassisted). Please note: HPST is not a learn-to-swim program. For swim lessons, visit the City of Hercules Parks & Recreation Aquatics offerings.

Family participation is essential. All families are required to volunteer throughout the season to support team operations and events.

Registration is in person at the Hercules Community Center – Recreation Office. For more information, please refer to our Registration details.
