Mekayla Everingham is the town's latest national champion, while Tom Berryman also did well at Homebush.
Everingham won gold in the 16 years 200 metre breaststroke and silver in the 100m breaststroke to cap off a great performance in Sydney.
She almost came home with another gold in the shorter event, too.
"She turned seventh and then fought her way back into it," Port Piranhas publicity officer Linda Dewbery said.
Berryman is another Port swimmer on the rise. He took bronze medals in the 13 eyars 100m and 200m backstroke races.
The youngster is coming into his own, and is performing especially well under the guidance of coach Michael Mullens.
"Michael has taken him under his wing," Dewbery said.
Sam Harris was another Port swimmer to do well last week. Harris competed in his first titles.
He returned personal bests in three 14 years events: the 400m individual medley and the 200m freestyle.
