While parade goers waved flags on Saturday, one group of kids were making a splash at the Paris Aquatic Center.
The PAC Attack swim team hosted a meet with competitors traveling from outside of Paris, including teams from Carrolton and Commerce. Swimmers of a variety of age groups participated, and the top six of each event were awarded with ribbons.
