The boys' relay squad of Dan Courton, Kristen Chadband, Matthew Lardner, Ryan Skeels, Matthew Davitt, Remmick Sargianopolous, William Davies and Adrian Vuylsteke almost made it a double relay celebration, but were just pipped into second place.
Piranhas head coach John Richards said: "We had boys and girls from the age of 14 swimming 200m butterfly events - that is some achievement.
"Most of the races were 200 metres and all swimmers put in the maximum effort.
