"Triple Crown Champion" Pi Sirui currently attends Guangshi Experimental School in Shishan Town, Nanhai District, and is coached by Yu Jianyong, a nationally certified-level swimmer with extensive coaching experience. As one of Foshan's leading swimming schools, the institution has consistently achieved remarkable success in provincial, municipal, and district-level competitions. In 2024, it once again claimed the team championship at the Shishan Town Primary and Secondary School Swimming Competition—and that same year, the school secured the runner-up spot in the team category at the Foshan City All-Series Swimming Championships. Additionally, at the 2024 Nanhai District Primary and Secondary School Games "Dingcheng Cup" Swimming Competition, the school finished third in the overall team standings, while also producing Shishan Team’s sole "double champion."

Pisrui said he looks up to Pan Zhanle as his role model and aims to become an Olympic champion.
