Abertillery Piranhas is a competitive swimming club that can trace its roots back to the 1920's

The club has more than 116 members aged from 4 to 19, with abilities ranging from learners making their first splash to National finalists.  

We have thriving learn to swim programme that follows the ASA national teaching plan.  Anyone interested in joining please e-mail the link at the bottom of the page, or turn up to one of the club training nights.   

Piranhas compete in the Ross league, the Speedo league (with HVSC), the John Hunkin trophy (defending champions!) and various WASA and ASA open meets.
