 203 Md. 244 (1953)
 100 A.2d 17
 WEST
 v.
 BELLE ISLE CAB COMPANY, INC.
 [No. 26, October Term, 1953.]
 Court of Appeals of Maryland.
 Decided November 13, 1953.
 *247 The cause was argued before SOBELOFF, C.J., and DELAPLAINE, COLLINS, HENDERSON and HAMMOND, JJ.
 Michael Paul Smith and Robert S. Rody, with whom was Amos I. Meyers on the brief, for the appellant.
 Frederick J. Green, Jr., with whom was James J. Lindsay on the brief, for the appellee.
 HAMMOND, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
 Susie Vera West appeals from a judgment in favor of the Belle Isle Cab Co., Inc., the defendant below, entered upon a verdict of the jury.
 Mrs. West was struck by a Belle Isle cab on the night of October 7, 1950 on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore. This is as far as the parties go in agreement.
 Mrs. West says she was crossing Pennsylvania Avenue from the west side to the east side at its intersection with Bloom Street, within and to the north side of the pedestrian crosswalk, when the cab struck her. She was supported in her testimony by two witnesses  the manager of the Sphinx Club, a night club on the east side of Pennsylvania Avenue four doors north of Bloom Street, and a passerby, employed at the Bethlehem Steel shipyards, who was walking south on Pennsylvania Avenue. All three were direct and explicit in their testimony that the appellant was walking within the pedestrian crosswalk and that it was there that she was struck.
 The appellee's version of the accident is that the cab, going north on Pennsylvania Avenue, had double parked in front of the Sphinx Club, some distance above the *248 crosswalk, to let out a woman passenger, and that the driver had started up and had gone four or five feet when Mrs. West, who had stepped down from the curb in front of the Sphinx Club headed for the west side of Pennsylvania Avenue, suddenly came out from between two parked cars. The testimony of the cab driver, that of the woman passenger who had alighted from the cab and headed for the Sphinx Club, and that of the man who had remained in the cab to be taken to another destination, is likewise direct and explicit that the accident happened in front of the Sphinx Club as the appellant appeared suddenly from between parked cars as she was crossing from east to west.
 There also came into the case a statement signed by the cab driver the day following the accident and filed by his employer with the Public Service Commission, as required by Section 39 of Article 78 of the Code, 1951 Edition, which included the following in reference to Mrs. West: "She claims she walked from the west side to the east side of the cab and had walked into same."
 The appellant says that the court erred to her prejudice in its charge to the jury in at least three particulars: first, she says that the necessary and unfair effect of the charge was that the jury could find only for the defendant, if they determined that the accident occurred: "in front of the Sphinx Nightclub, or in the vicinity of the entrance to the Sphinx Nightclub." Second, it is claimed that by refusing to charge the jury on a doctrine of last clear chance, the court compounded its own error in that the jury might have found the doctrine applicable even under the appellee's version of the accident, and certainly could have under an alternative theory of the appellant, namely, if the appellant actually was crossing Pennsylvania Avenue from west to east in front of the Sphinx Nightclub. The third complaint is that the court, although it instructed the jury that contributory negligence might be found from the testimony of any witness on either side, including principals, it refused *249 to add that primary negligence might likewise be so found.
 An examination of the charge in the light of the evidence refutes these claims. The jury first was told that the court's instructions as to the law were binding, and its comments on the facts and the witnesses "purely advisory", and in no way binding upon them. Then they were told that the happening of the accident caused no presumption of negligence and that the burden of proof was on Mrs. West. The court instructed them that there were two real questions to decide in reaching the verdict: "First, was the accident caused by the negligence of Swogell, the operator of the Defendant's cab, and secondly, did any negligence on the part of Mrs. West also contribute to the happening of the accident?" They were advised that it was for them to decide which of the versions was correct, and "by your verdict you are to say which of the parties was negligent". They were, the court said, entitled to use their experience as intelligent men and women and take into consideration "what the witnesses say, its probability, their manner of saying it, and your understanding of the whole situation". Negligence was defined and the legal definition of crosswalk given. The jury was instructed that pedestrians have the right-of-way at crosswalks. They were told that: "if you find as a matter of fact that Mrs. West was crossing in the pedestrian's crosswalk, she would have the right-of-way over the driver of the taxicab." That means, the court went on: "... that the driver of a vehicle as he approaches the intersection must be alert, must be on the lookout for pedestrians, must have his automobile under control, operating at a speed that is reasonable and proper under the circumstances, and be prepared to meet any sudden emergency, so that if you find from the testimony that Mrs. West was actually in the pedestrian's crosswalk crossing from the west side of Pennsylvania Avenue to the east side at Bloom Street and the driver of the automobile failed to see her and hit her, then you would *250 be entitled to find, if you find those facts, that the driver of the cab was negligent." The court then added: "... there is testimony from which you could find that the accident did not happen at the pedestrian's crosswalk, but happened in front of the Sphinx Club... If you find from the testimony that the accident did not happen at the crosswalk but happened in front of the Sphinx Nightclub, or in the vicinity of the entrance to the Sphinx Nightclub, then you might find that the operator was not negligent and that Mrs. West was not in a position where she had the right-of-way over the cab, but where the cab driver had the right-of-way over her, and while he must use ordinary care or caution in the operation of his automobile between blocks, and do what he can to avoid running over people, the testimony of passenger Proctor and the driver was that she suddenly appeared at the right front corner of his cab, and the testimony of Miss Dorsey was that she had stepped off of the east pavement of Pennsylvania Avenue between parked automobiles into the right front corner of the cab. So that is the first question for you to decide when you reach the Jury Room: Was she on the crosswalk or did she step out from the sidewalk up near the Sphinx Club?"
 The court discussed the question of damages and concluded the charge thus: "Finally, if you find that the accident was due entirely to the negligence of Swogell, the operator of the cab, without any negligence on the part of Mrs. West, allow her such damages as in your judgment would be a fair and just compensation for the injuries which she has sustained."
 We think that the trial judge fairly presented the issues which the evidence required to be submitted to the jury. The charge must be considered as a whole and not condemned because isolated portions of it do not seem to do justice to one side or the other, nor because of the method of expression. Fisher v. Baltimore Transit Co., 184 Md. 399, 402; Larkin v. Smith, 183 Md. 274; Reindollar v. Kaiser, 195 Md. 314. As *251 Judge Marbury said for the court in Bull Steamship Lines v. Fisher, 196 Md. 519, 529: "The purpose of oral charges is to tell the jury in simple words what the law is in a case before them, and we will not be too particular in criticising the words used if the result is sufficient."
 The plaintiff's version of the accident was fairly and fully presented and the jury told that if they found the facts contended for by the plaintiff, they: "would be entitled to find... that the driver of the cab was negligent". The defendant's version of the accident was described and the jury told that if they found the accident happened as she stepped out in front of the cab near the Sphinx Club, they "might find" that the driver was not negligent. They were instructed that if the accident did happen in front of the Sphinx Club and they found that: "the accident was due to her fault, and no fault on the part of the driver of the cab, or if you find that it was due to the fault of both Mrs. West and the driver of the cab, she, of course, cannot recover. In the first case there would be no negligence on the part of the driver, and secondly, if you find it was the fault of both then she would have been guilty of contributory negligence and cannot recover and that would be the end of the case." As we read the record, the appellant received more favorable treatment in the charge than was due her. The question of the relative negligence of Mrs. West and the cab driver in the situation presented by his starting from the double parked position and her sudden stepping out thereafter from the curb between two parked cars, was left to the jury. They were told that in such case they "might" find the defendant not negligent and the plaintiff negligent. Under the authority of cases such as Domeski v. Atlantic Refining Co., 202 Md. 562, 567, 97 A.2d 313, 316; and Cocco v. Lissau, 202 Md. 196, 202, 95 A.2d 857, 860, it would have been proper to instruct the jury that if they found that the plaintiff suddenly walked in front of the path of the car in front of the Sphinx Club, she *252 was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law and the verdict must be for the defendant. This would have been judicial recognition that the plaintiff's conduct was so prominent and decisive and so directly contributed to the accident as to leave no room for difference of opinion by reasonable minds. Baltimore Transit Co. v. Castranda, 194 Md. 421, 434; and Lindenberg v. Needles, 203 Md. 8, 97 A.2d 901. The court did not go this far. It submitted the alternatives as to the location of the happening of the accident, as it must have done; the question of negligence at the pedestrian's crosswalk, as it must have done; and also, the question of relative negligence if the accident occurred in front of the Sphinx Club, as it need not have done; instead of instructing the jury to find for the defendant in such case as a matter of law, as it might well have done.
 We see no basis in the record for the doctrine of last clear chance if the accident occurred in front of the Sphinx Club. There is no evidence that the driver either saw, or should have seen, Mrs. West in time to avoid striking her. Further, if, as the testimony indicates, she suddenly stepped from between the parked cars, she was guilty of contributory negligence which was concurrent with the negligence of the driver, if negligence there was, and under those circumstances, the doctrine of last clear chance would not be applicable. Legum v. State, use of Moran, 167 Md. 339. To bring the doctrine into play, the negligence of the defendant must be consequential to that of the plaintiff and not concurrent. Congressional Country Club v. Baltimore & Ohio R.R. Co., 194 Md. 533, 545; Baltimore & Ohio R.R. Co. v. Leasure, 193 Md. 523, 533; Peregoy v. Western Maryland Ry. Co., 202 Md. 203, 210-211, 95 A.2d 867, 870; and Gross v. Baltimore Transit Co., 192 Md. 278, 286. Certainly, in this case, if the accident occurred as the defendant says it did, the undisputed testimony would be that Mrs. West's own act was the final negligent act which clearly would prevent the invocation of the doctrine. Jackson v. Forwood, 186 Md. 379, 386. The appellant *253 endeavors to avoid the difficulties we have just recited by the contention that the jury was entitled to find that Mrs. West was crossing Pennsylvania Avenue from the west side to the east side, not at the pedestrian's crosswalk but opposite the Sphinx Club, so that the cab driver did see her or should have seen her in ample time to have avoided the accident. To get to this point, the appellant contends that the statement filed with the Public Service Commission must be considered as probative evidence on the part of the plaintiff that she was crossing from west to east and that this evidence can be supplemented by the evidence of the defendant that the accident happened in front of the Sphinx Club, so that an alternative plaintiff's version is attempted to be tied to the location part of the defendant's version to make a case of liability on the part of the defendant. As we see it, the proposition is untenable for several reasons. In the first place, the general rule is that prior statements which are produced at the trial to impeach a witness are not probative evidence but may be used only for impeachment. Foble v. Knefely, 176 Md. 474; State v. C.J. Benson & Co., 129 Md. 693, 698; Baltimore Transit Co. v. Castranda, supra. Wigmore on Evidence, 3rd Ed., Vol. III, Section 1018, states the rule as follows: "It is universally maintained by the Courts that Prior Self-Contradictions are not to be treated as having any substantive or independent testimonial value." Professor Wigmore does not agree that this is a sound conclusion; nevertheless, this Court has joined in the universality of its acceptance.
 In the second place, the statement says merely that Mrs. West told the driver that she crossed from the west to the east side of the cab and walked into it. Passing without consideration the implied admission of contributory negligence in the statement, there was no hint in it as to where she was on Pennsylvania Avenue as she crossed. The statement is entirely consistent with her testimony at the trial and there is nothing to *254 indicate that she did not mean, when she gave it, that she was crossing at the crosswalk.
 In the third place, Section 39 of Article 78 of the Code, 1951 Edition, says that such statements shall not be admitted as evidence "or used for any purpose" against the common carrier furnishing it, in any suit or action for damages. If, however, we assume, without deciding, that the statement, having been admitted in evidence with the acquiescence of the appellee, had substantive and independent evidentiary value, to the effect that Mrs. West was saying therein that she crossed Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the Sphinx Club rather than at the crosswalk, she would not be in any better position. For, in such case, we would have a situation where Mrs. West, at the trial, was testifying with one breath that she crossed from west to east in front of the Sphinx Nightclub, and in the next breath, that she so crossed at the pedestrian's crosswalk, with the jury free to find, as far as she was concerned, that the accident happened at either location. This would make her testimony contradictory enough to have no probative force whatever, so that a jury could not be permitted to speculate about it or to select one or the other of the contradictory statements as the basis for a verdict. Olney v. Carmichael, 202 Md. 226, 96 A.2d 37; Bond v. Forthuber, 198 Md. 476, 84 A.2d 886; Eisenhower v. Baltimore Transit Co., 190 Md. 528; Slacum v. Jolley, 153 Md. 343, 351. As was said in the Olney case, this would be a case: "... assuming, as we have, that the prior statements were in evidence at the trial, where the testimony of the witness from the stand is in hopeless conflict and without probative force." Thus, no matter how the statement is regarded and treated, there were no facts presented to the jury which would serve as the basis for an instruction that the doctrine of last clear chance applied. If there was no such evidence, it would have been error to instruct on the point. Sieland v. Gallo, 194 Md. 282, 286; Bull Steamship Lines v. Fisher, supra, at page 529. An instruction is properly rejected if the *255 evidence precludes the theory on which it is based. County Commissioners of Baltimore County v. Collins, 158 Md. 335, 338; and Homeseekers Realty Co. v. Silent Automatic Sales Corp., 163 Md. 541, 550.
 What we have said disposes of the last contention of the appellant, which is that there was prejudicial error in the failure of the court to charge the jury that the evidence of the defendant's negligence could come not only from the plaintiff and her witnesses, but from the defendant and its witnesses. Undoubtedly, this is abstractly true. The purpose of seeking this instruction was to link up the Public Service Commission statement with the testimony of the defendant's witnesses and thus produce a possible happening of the accident in front of the Sphinx Club with Mrs. West crossing there from west to east, rather than stepping out to the west from between two parked cars. As we have said there was no evidence to sustain this theory. Therefore, if there was abstract error in failing to grant the requested charge, the appellant was not prejudiced. One other possible relevance of the requested instruction would be on the theory that the cab driver was negligent in his operation of the cab as he started up from his double parked position. Actually, there is no evidence of this. Assuming, however, that he was negligent, it would not change the fact that Mrs. West herself was contributorily negligent in walking between the parked cars into the path of the oncoming cab, and must be denied recovery on this basis, if the accident happened, as the jury seemingly found it did  outside the crosswalk.
 All of the discussion on the last point has been on the assumption that the failure to charge, as requested, was technical error. Actually, we find that implict in the charge as a whole, evidences being found in various places, is the equivalent of the instruction which was asked for. The jury was told, as we have pointed out, that they had heard the story of all the witnesses and "by your verdict you are to say which of the parties *256 was negligent." Again, they were told to consider the testimony of all the witnesses, its probability and their understanding "of the whole situation". They were told that if they found negligence on the part of the cab driver and none on the part of Mrs. West, they were to find for her, and there was no suggestion that they could not find that negligence in any part of the testimony. We do not say that the requested instruction might not well have been given, but we do find that the failure to give it was not prejudicial, in any sense, and that, in substance, the jury was told what the appellant complains that they were not but should have been. Bull Steamship Lines v. Fisher, supra.
 Judgment affirmed, with costs.

Tengku Ampuan Tua Tengku Intan Zaharah binti Almarhum Tengku Seri Setia Raja Tengku Hitam Omar (Jawi: تڠكو امڤوان توا تڠكو اينتن زهرة بنت المرحوم تڠكو ستيا راج تڠکو هيتم عمر; 13 April 1928 – 24 January 2015) was the Tengku Ampuan Tua (Grand Queen Dowager) of Terengganu. She was formerly the Tengku Ampuan Besar (Queen consort) of Terengganu from 1945 to 1979, the Tengku Ampuan (Queen Dowager) of Terengganu from 1979 to 1998 and Tengku Ampuan Tua (Grand Queen Dowager) of Terengganu from 1998 until her death in 2015. She also served as the fourth Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia from 1965 to 1970.
 Early life
 Tengku Intan was born in Singapore on 13 April 1928. Her father, Tengku Seri Setia Raja Terengganu Tengku Hitam Omar, was a member of the Singapore (Johor Bendahara Horeh) royal family, serving in the Terengganu State Civil Service as the State Secretary of Terengganu; he was exiled since the death of the last Sultan of Singapore, Alauddin Alam Shah, in 1897. Her mother was Raja Zainab binti Raja Alang (second wife of her father).
 Tengku Intan received her education at the Malay School in Telok Kurau and Katong Convent, Singapore.
 Royal life
 Tengku Intan married Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Abidin III (then Tengku Paduka Raja of Terengganu) on 3 April 1944 as his second wife. She had no children with him.
 On 5 November 1945 the Terengganu State Council of thirteen members announced the dismissal of Sultan Ali Shah and the appointment of Tengku Ismail as the fifteenth Sultan of Terengganu. Tengku Ismail became known as Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah and was installed on 6 June 1949 at Istana Maziah, Kuala Terengganu.
 Accordingly, Tengku Intan Zaharah became Tengku Ampuan Besar (Queen) of Terengganu. Tengku Intan served as Raja Permaisuri Agong during her husband's reign as the fourth Yang di-Pertuan Agong or King of Malaysia.
 In 1979, upon her husband's death she was created Tengku Ampuan (Queen Dowager) of Terengganu. In 1998, on the death of her stepson, Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah, she became Tengku Ampuan Tua (Grand Queen Dowager) of Terengganu.
 Death
 Tengku Ampuan Tua Tengku Intan Zaharah died on 24 January 2015 at 3:30 pm in Hospital Pantai, Kuala Lumpur due to pneumonia. She was 86 years old. Her body was brought back to Terengganu and was laid to rest beside her husband grave, Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah at the Royal Mausoleum near Abidin Mosque, Kuala Terengganu.

Gedun Gyatso foi o 2o dalai-lama do Tibete. Viveu entre 1475 e 1542.
 Nasceu em 1475 em Tanag Sekme, perto de Shigatse, na província de Ü-Tsang, filho de Kunga Gyatso e Machik Kunga Pemo, uma família de camponeses.
 Seu pai era um conhecido praticante de tantra da linhagem Nyingmapa. Conta-se que, quando Gedun Gyatso começou a falar, ele disse a seus pais que o seu nome era Pema Dorje - o nome de nascimento do primeiro Dalai Lama - e que gostaria de viver no monastério em Tashi Lhunpo. Quando foi concebido, seu pai teve um sonho no qual alguém vestido de branco apareceu e lhe disse para chamar seu filho de Gedun Drupa e também que esse filho seria uma pessoa com a capacidade de relembrar suas vidas passadas. Entretanto, seu pai lhe deu o nome de Sangye Phel.
 Recebeu sua educação primária e, aos onze anos, foi reconhecido como a reencarnação de Gedun Drupa e foi entronizado no monastério em Tashi Lhunpo. Em 1486, fez seus votos de noviço com Panchen Lungrig Gyatso e seus votos de Gelong (ordenação completa) com Choje Chokyi Gyaltsen, que lhe deu o nome de Gedun Gyatso. Estudou nos monastérios de Tashi Lhunpo e Drepung.
 Em 1517, Gedun Gyatso se tornou abade do monastério de Drepung e, no ano seguinte, reviveu o Grande Festival de Orações, Monlam Chenmo, e presidiu os eventos com monges vindos de Sera, Drepung e Gaden, as três grandes universidades monásticas da linhagem Gelugpa. Em 1525, tornou-se o abade do monastério de Sera. Morreu aos sessenta e sete anos, em 1542.

Piešťany (, , ) sú kúpeľné mesto na Slovensku, sídlo okresu a mnohých vedeckých inštitúcií. Je medzinárodným strediskom liečby reumatických chorôb (Národný ústav reumatických chorôb) a významným regionálnym centrom kultúry, školstva, športu a rekreácie. Hospodárstvo mesta je závislé od liečebnej starostlivosti, turistického ruchu, elektrotechnického, strojárskeho a potravinárskeho priemyslu. Preteká ním rieka Váh. Má nížinné, teplé, slnečné a suché podnebie.
 V okolí sa nachádzajú významné archeologické lokality (Moravany nad Váhom, Krakovany-Stráže). Prvá písomná zmienka pochádza zo zoborskej listiny z roku 1113. Výrazný rozvoj v 19. storočí súvisí s rozvojom kúpeľnej starostlivosti. V druhej polovici 20. storočia sa vďaka budovaniu priemyslu a pripojeniu obcí Banka a Kocurice zdvojnásobil počet obyvateľov na viac ako 33-tisíc, po odpojení obce Banka v roku 1996 mali Piešťany necelých 31-tisíc ľudí. Odvtedy ich počet klesol o desatinu na necelých 28-tisíc.
 Geografia
 Piešťany ležia 86 kilometrov severovýchodne od hlavného mesta Bratislavy, na pravom brehu rieky Váh. Rozprestierajú sa v strednej časti Dolnovážskej nivy, v severnom výbežku Podunajskej roviny, pod úpätím pohoria Považský Inovec v nadmorskej výške Mestom okrem Váhu preteká potok Dubová, ktorý sa vlieva do priehradného jazera Sĺňava, ktoré leží juhovýchodne od mesta.
 Mesto sa delí na katastrálne územia Piešťany a Kocurice – jedinú mestskú časť, vzdialenú juhozápadne od mesta, na ľavom brehu Dudváhu, V tejto mestskej časti sa našlo popolnicové pohrebisko z mladšej bronzovej doby a písomné pramene dokladajú osadu Cozuran v roku 1113. Súčasťou Piešťan sú Kocurice od 1. januára 1974. V rokoch 19731996 bola súčasťou Piešťan aj obec Banka.
 Dejiny
 Staroveké a stredoveké dejiny
 Stopy osídlenia okolia Piešťan pochádzajú už zo štvrtohorného pleistocénu. Kamenné nástroje človeka neandertálskeho typu boli objavené v neďalekej obci Banka a v jaskyni Čertova pec. V ostatnej ľadovej dobe sa ku nezamŕzajúcim prameňom sťahoval človeklovec mamutov. Svedčia o tom nálezy z Banky a Moravian nad Váhom. Pramene vyhľadávali obyvatelia z neskorej i mladšej kamennej doby, no najmä z bronzovej doby. V okolí sú stopy po ľude maďarovskej kultúry, vystriedanej ľudom karpatskej mohylovej a čakanskej kultúry. V mladej železnej (laténskej) dobe, asi v štvrtom storočí pred Kr., prichádzali Kelti. V 1. až 4. storočí osídlenie germánskymi Kvádmi. Po nich boli nájdené významné a bohaté germánske hroby v blízkych Strážach, dnes Krakovany-Stráže. V 5.6. storočí prichádzali do oblasti prvé slovanské kmene.
 Časy Veľkej Moravy z 9. storočia pripomína veľmožský dvorec Kostolec na skalnom ostrohu nad Váhom nad obcou Ducové. Prvá písomná zmienka o Piešťanoch pochádza z roku 1113. Nachádza sa v druhej zoborskej listine, vydanej uhorským kráľom Kolomanom I. Piešťany (Pescan) sa tu spomínajú ako obec susediaca s Trebaticami. V rokoch 1299, 13011321 súčasť panstva Matúša Čáka Trenčianskeho. Po jeho smrti sa časti jeho majetkov zmocnil kráľ Karol Róbert z Anjou.
 Piešťany boli aj kráľovským majetkom a súčasťou hradného panstva Tematín. V roku 1348 daroval kráľ Ľudovít I. hrad a panstvo Tematín magistrovi Mikulášovi Kontovi. Kontovci si udržali panstvo do roku 1521, kedy rod vymrel bez potomkov. Po vymretí tohto rodu ich od kráľa Ľudovíta II. získal Alexej Thurzo.
 Novoveké dejiny
 Dejiny mesta sú úzko späté s rozvojom kúpeľníctva v 16. storočí. Prvý podrobný opis prameňov pochádza od prefekta Šarišského hradu a kráľovského radcu Juraja Wernhera z roku 1545 v knihe Správa o podivuhodných vodách Uhorska (De admirandis Hungariae aquis hypomnemation). Neskoršie opisy sú od lekára rakúskych cisárov Johanna Crata de Crafheima (1571), osobného lekára pápeža Sixta V. Andreu Bacciusa Elpidianusa (1588), či od nemeckého cestovateľa Martina Zeillera (1632). Najslávnejší opis kúpeľov pochádza od Adama Trajana Benešovského v básni Saluberrimae Pistinienses Thermae (Uzdravujúce piešťanské kúpele) z roku 1642. V tom istom roku Piešťany dostali mestské výsady a jarmočné právo a vyvíjali sa ako zemepanské mestečko.
 Od roku 1521 patrili Piešťany prevažne Thurzovcom, no po smrti Alexeja Thurza napadli Očkaiovci testament, prisudzujúci vlastníctvo panstva rodine Sékelyovcov, spory o vlastníctvo obce trvali v období rokov 1551-1591. Od Sékelyovcov prešlo vlastníctvo na vnučku Alexeja Thurza Annu Salmovú. Nakoniec v roku 1602 sa dohodli grófovia Salma a Stanislav Thurzo o odpredaní panstva s Piešťanmi Thurzovcom. V tomto čase bolo ešte hlavnou obživou obce poľnohospodárstvo. V priebehu turecko-uhorských vojen boli Piešťany trikrát vyplienené Turkami, v rokoch 1530, 1599 a 1663.
 Okolo prameňov vznikla kúpeľná osada Teplice, o ktorej prvá písomná zmienka pochádza z roku 1599. V jej centre stál ubytovací hostinec a panský dom pre šľachtu. Osada sa časom spojila s obcou Piešťany (niekedy aj Veľké Piešťany) a dnes tvorí historické centrum. Thurzovci vlastnili Piešťany opäť od roku 1602 do roku 1637. V roku 1610 sa takmer všetci obyvatelia Piešťan hlásili k Evanjelickej cirkvi. Adam Thurzo nechal vybudovať prvý ubytovací hostinec pre vznešených kúpeľných hostí. Ferdinand I. po Thurzovej smrti odpredal Piešťany Imrichovi Berčénimu. Od neho panstvo odkúpil v roku 1656 Adam Forgáč a Forgáčovcom zostalo panstvo až do konca Rákocziho povstania. Po neúspechu povstania cisár odobral majetky Šimonovi Forgáčovi a do roku 1720 obec krátko patrila Jánovi Václavovi z Mitrovíc. Roku 1720 daroval panovník Karol VI. panstvo Hlohovec (a s ním i Piešťany) Jánovi Leopoldovi Erdődymu. Erdődyovcom patrilo mestečko Piešťany až do roku 1848 (zrušenie nevoľníctva) a kúpele až do roku 1940 (zoštátnenie).
 Prvý lekársky opis Schediasma de Thermis Postheinsibus je od hlavného fyzikusa slobodného kráľovského mesta Prešporka Jána Justusa Torkoša (1745). V roku 1772 sa v Piešťanoch objavil významný balneológ, profesor Heinrich J. von Cranz. Až po jeho návšteve postavili prvú stálu budovu kúpeľov, dovtedy sa používali iba jamy vykopané v zemi, ktorých využívanie komplikoval meniaci sa tok Váhu. Piešťany v novoveku často ničili veľké povodne na Váhu, zničujúce boli najmä tie v rokoch 1683, 1744 a 1813.
 Začiatkom 19. storočia (okolo roku 18201822) dal Jozef Erdődy vybudovať v klasicistickom štýle prvé murované kúpeľné budovy, ktoré boli dobudovávané a prestavované v priebehu celého 19. storočia (od roku 1923 známe pod názvom Napoleonské kúpele). V roku 1802 navštívil Piešťany Beethoven. Začiatkom 19. storočia sa liečba uberala pokrokovou, lekársky podloženou metódou pod vedením doktora F. E. Scherera, nájomcu kúpeľov, zakladateľa Vojenského kúpeľného ústavu (1863) a autora monografie o kúpeľoch. Od roku 1837 je zdokumentovaná prítomnosť piešťanského prepravného špecifika – ručne ťahaných vozíkov, tzv. infanteristov.
 História židovského obyvateľstva
 Židov v Piešťanoch evidujeme od roku 1727. V roku 1815 bola postavená prvá synagóga a v roku 1906 vznikla židovská kuchyňa a 6 izieb pre chudobných a starých židov. Ortodoxná synagóga bola postavená v rokoch 18931994 no už v päťdesiatych rokoch bola zdemolovaná. Pred 2. svetovou vojnou tvorili židia približne 14% obyvateľstva a na začiatku 20. storočia vlastnili približne 65% licencií na prevádzkovanie obchodov, hotelov a reštaurácií.
 V Piešťanoch pôsobilo niekoľko významných rabínov. Posledný predvojnový rabín, Teichtal Yissachar Shlomo zomrel vo vlaku pri návrate z koncentračného tábora Auschwitz. Na jeho pamiatku je v Piešťanoch postavený pamätný kameň. Dcéra Ľudovíta Wintera, Maria Schulz, má v Piešťanoch umiestnený kameň Stolperstein. Nachádzajú sa tu aj 2 židovské cintoríny, kde sa nachádza viac ako 630 náhrobných kameňov.
 Winterovci a vývoj po druhej svetovej vojne
 V roku 1889 dostala kúpele do prenájmu od rodiny Erdődyovcov firma Alexander Winter a synovia. K tomuto obdobiu sa viaže najväčší rozkvet kúpeľov a mesta, dochádza k veľkorysej výstavbe kúpeľných objektov a vďaka propagácii sa stali známe v celom svete. Zaslúžil sa o to najmä syn Alexandera Wintera Ľudovít Winter, slovenský podnikateľ židovsko-maďarského pôvodu, nájomca, budovateľ piešťanských kúpeľov a tvorca ich svetového mena. Ľudovít Winter pôsobil v rokoch 1919 - 1935 ako predseda slovenskej jednoty kúpeľov. Prežil koncentračný tábor a po jeho návrate do Piešťan v roku 1948 mu bol zakázaný prechod z kúpeľov do mesta cez rieku. Výrazne sa zaslúžil o premenu obce Piešťany na mesto. Jeho brat Imrich zase povzniesol kultúrny a spoločenský život v meste, jeho meno nesie Balneologické múzeum Imricha Wintera, ktoré spoluzakladal. Boli vystavané Františkove kúpele, Grand hotel Rónai/Royal, hotel Lipa či hotel Thermia Palace s kúpeľmi Irma.
 Rozvoj prerušila prvá svetová vojna, v kúpeľoch sa začali liečiť ranení vojaci a dôstojníci. Počas prvej svetovej vojny bola postavená liečebňa Pro Patria (Za vlasť). Vo februári 1917 sa v hoteli Thermia Palace stretli traja cisári, nemecký cisár Viliam II., rakúsky cisár Karol I. a bulharský cár Ferdinand I. Rokovali tu o ďalšom vedení vojny a tu aj spečatili svoj osud.
 V medzivojnovom období prúdili do kúpeľov desaťtisíce hostí, medzi nimi mnohé významné osobnosti (Richard Tauber, Henny Porten, Selma Lagerlöfová, Alfons Mucha, indickí maharadžovia a i.). Došlo k významnému rozvoju kúpeľov aj mesta, k výstavbe modernej infraštruktúry, najmä v spolupráci Wintera ako správcu kúpeľov a Alexandra Šindelára ako miestneho starostu a dekana. Postavili sa dva nové mosty cez Váh, Poštový a telegrafný úrad, meštianska škola, obecný a okresný úrad či asfaltové cesty a v rokoch 1925-1931 prvé protipovodňové valy na brehoch rieky. Taktiež sa piešťanské letisko, funkčné od roku 1926, stalo hlavnou základňou československého letectva na Slovensku.
 Po vypuknutí druhej svetovej vojny nastala úplná ekonomická stagnácia. V roku 1940 došlo ku zoštátneniu kúpeľov, 1948 ku ich znárodneniu. Winterovci boli stíhaní režimom, Imrich vojnu neprežil, Ľudovítovi zakázali pôsobenie v kúpeľoch. Počas vojny v holokauste zomrela veľká väčšina z piešťanských Židov, ktorí tvorili vyše 10 % obyvateľov. Piešťany a ich infraštruktúra tiež utrpeli vojnou, po vypuknutí SNP sa celá piešťanská vojenská posádka na čele s Ivanom Haluzickým doň zapojila.
 Piešťany boli oslobodené rumunskou a sovietskou armádou 4. apríla 1945. Rozvoj mesta a kúpeľov zabezpečil až zákon o preventívnej starostlivosti z roku 1951. Od roku 1945 užívajú Piešťany štatút mesta, od roku 1954 štatút kúpeľného mesta a od roku 1956 štatút kúpeľného mesta medzinárodného významu, od 1996 okresného mesta. V druhej polovici 20. storočia nastal v meste vzostup špecializovaných priemyselných odvetví (elektrotechnický podnik Tesla – v roku 1984 sa tu začal vyrábať prvý československý osobný počítač PMD 85; výroba zdravotníckej technike vo firme Chirana).
 Názov
 Názov Piešťany je odvodený od piesčitého charakteru podložia naplavenín Váhu, na ktorých sa rozprestiera. Toto meno nesie aj planétka (4573) Piešťany, ako aj niektoré ulice na Slovensku s pomenovaním Piešťanská.
 Symboly mesta
 Symbolmi mesta sú: erb, pečať, zástava mesta, insígnie primátora mesta a štandarda primátora mesta. Ako symbol bol barlolámač prijatý za mestský znak 21. októbra 1945 pri príležitosti povýšenia obce Piešťany na mesto.
 Erb mesta tvorí modrý štít so striebornou postavou nahého zlatovlasého muža, lámajúceho obojručne zlatú barlu o ľavé koleno. Do druhej polovice 19. storočia mesto používalo ako pečatidlo rôzne vyobrazenia svätého Štefana-kráľa. Najstaršia zachovaná pečať pochádza z roku 1564. Je na liste odoslanom z Piešťan do Trnavy, z obsahu ktorého sa dá predpokladať právo na konanie trhu alebo jarmoku. Priemer pečate je a vyobrazuje svätého Štefana-kráľa s barlou v pravej ruke, zatiaľ, čo v ľavej drží štít s krížom.
 Z roku 1771 sa zachovala na listine pečať piešťanskej osady Teplice (približne dnešná pešia zóna), s priemerom . V jej strede je vyobrazený svätý Štefan s kruhopisom Sigillum Teplicien. Z roku 1774 je zachovaná podobná pečať s priemerom so svätým Štefanom držiacim barlu v ľavej ruke. Kruhopis znie Sigillum Teplicense.
 Z roku 1783 je osemboká pečať samotného mesta. Má priemer , v strede vyobrazenie svätého Štefana s barlou v pravej ruke a kruhopisom Sigillum oppidi Peosten. Dnešný symbol mesta, barlolámač, bol pôvodne znakom kúpeľov. Podnet na jeho vytvorenie dal Ľudovít Winter, ktorý si želal jednoduchý symbol uzdravenia vypovedajúci o sile termálnych prameňov. V roku 1894 sa Winter stretol v budapeštianskej Riegelovej tlačiarni s kresličom nemeckého pôvodu Arthurom Heyerom, ktorého poveril takýto symbol vytvoriť. Heyer mu o pár dní predložil skicu muža lámajúceho barlu. Tento znak si Winter okamžite nechal patentovať, ale aj napriek tomu sa stal podnetom 40-tich súdnych sporov. Umelecké vyobrazenie barlolámača sa nachádza na priečelí kolonádového mosta.
 Vlajku tvorí šesť vodorovných rovnomerných pruhov v mestských farbách – zlatá, modrá, strieborná, zlatá, modrá, strieborná. Vlajka v pomere je zastrihnutá do lastovičieho chvosta siahajúceho do jej 1/3.

 Na čele mesta stojí primátor, ktorý je predstaviteľom a najvyšším výkonným orgánom mesta. Mestské zastupiteľstvo (MsZ) od roku 2018 je 17-členný zbor (znížený z počtu 21 v rokoch 2014 – 18 a z počtu 25 v predošlom volebnom období) zložený z poslancov zvolených v priamych voľbách občanmi mesta. Od roku 2014 má mesto dva volebné obvody pre zastupiteľstvo. Funkčné obdobie MsZ sa končí zložením sľubu poslancov novozvoleného zastupiteľstva. V súčasnosti je 12 poslancov nezávislých, 3 poslancov má KDH a po jednom poslancovi strana SPOLU a koalícia SaS-OĽaNO.

 Kúpele
 Kúpele Piešťany sú situované prevažne na Kúpeľnom ostrove východne od mesta, medzi ľavým brehom Váhu a mŕtvym obtokovým ramenom. V tomto priestore vyviera väčšina termálnych prameňov. Sú tu zriadené studne Trajan, Patria, V1 a V4. Tie sú viazané na považanskom zlomovom pásme z hĺbky 2 000 metrov, kde sú 50 až 60 metrov pod povrchom odborne zachytené, aby nedošlo k miešaniu s podpovrchovými vodami. Voda sa akumuluje v burdigalských (miocénnych) sedimentoch Podunajskej panvy. Minerálne pramene sú sírnato-hydrouhličitanové, vápenato-horčíkové, sírne, hypotonické termy s teplotou 6769 °C s obsahom okolo 1500 mg minerálnych látok na liter vody a s obsahom voľných plynov, najmä sírovodíka. Úhrnná kapacita zachytených žriediel je viac ako 3 milióny litrov vody za deň. Súčasťou liečby je bahno, ktoré patrí medzi najznámejšie peloidy sveta. Vzniká chemickými a biologickými procesmi v sedimentoch Váhu za pôsobenia termálnych výverov.
 Balneoterapia sa aplikuje na choroby pohybového ústrojenstva, poúrazové stavy, nervové choroby a mnohé ďalšie. Bahno má významné antifungálne účinky. Pre balneologické využitie je pripravované originálnou technológiou, počas ktorej podlieha procesu dozrievania a regenerácie s početnými chemickými a biologickými reakciami. Dozreté bahno má maslovitú, mazľavú konzistenciu, je plastické, tepelne vodivé, ochladzuje sa štvornásobne pomalšie ako voda, oproti ktorej má 350-krát väčšiu viskozitu. Zrelé bahno je oceľovo modré až čierne. Používa sa tu viac ako 60 rôznych liečebných procedúr a metodík. Základom sú procedúry využívajúce unikátnu minerálnu vodu a liečivé sírne bahno, ktoré sa kombinujú s vodoliečbou, individuálnou a skupinovou rehabilitáciou, masážami, uhličitou terapiou, svetloliečbou, elektroliečbou, teploliečbou a ďalšími špecializovanými výkonmi a relaxačnými procedúrami.
 O kúpeľnú starostlivosť sa starajú primárne Slovenské liečebné kúpele s celkovou kapacitou 2 000 lôžok. SLK patria od roku 2002 spoločnosti Danubius Hotels Group venujúcej sa kúpeľnej starostlivosti v Maďarsku, Česku a Rumunsku, ktorá od roku 2019 funguje ako sieť hotelov Ensana.

Pri anticyklonálnych situáciách sa hmla udrží celý deň.
 Búrky prichádzajú najčastejšie zo západu, kde sa zastavujú na pohorí Karpaty po ktorom postupujú južne a potom prechádzajú mestom z juhozápadu na severovýchod k Považskému Inovcu. Na východe sa búrky vyskytujú na teplom fronte a vznikajú nad Považským Inovcom. Búrky vznikajú prevažne medzi pätnástou až osemnástou hodinou. Polovica z nich trvá viac ako hodinu, asi 6 % ich trvá cez štyri hodiny. Nočné búrky majú spravidla dlhšie trvanie. Najväčšia rýchlosť búrok je v zime, najmenšia v lete.

 Zaujímavé stavby
 Väčšina stavebných pamiatok Piešťan spadá do obdobia rozvoja kúpeľov a teda aj mesta v 19. storočí. Jedinou stredovekou pamiatkou je ruina kostola (tzv. Starý kláštor na Detvianskej ulici), existencia kláštora v tejto lokalite nie je doložená. Dôvodom, prečo sa staršie stavby nezachovali, boli časté záplavy spôsobované Váhom. Katastrofické rozmery mala povodeň z 26. augusta 1813, keď rieka úplne zničila, alebo poškodila všetky vtedajšie budovy. V roku 1991 bola v časti mesta vyhlásená pamiatková zóna.
 Sakrálne stavby
 Zo sakrálnych stavieb je najstaršou dochovanou pamiatkou už spomínaný kláštorný gotický kostol, z ktorého však stojí už len časť presbytéria. Dva svorníky z klenby sa zachovali na farskej budove. Klasicistický Kostol sv. Štefana Kráľa z rokov 18281832 bol pravdepodobne postavený na základoch staršieho kostola. Hlavný oltár s obrazom sv. Štefana Kráľa od mastra Zieglera (1831), nástenné maľby od trojice Papp, Petrovič, Enhof (1931) a vitráže od J. Alexyho (1950). Baroková kúpeľná kaplnka sv. Jána Nepomuckého z roku 1760 bola zbúraná koncom 19. storočia.
 Nahradila ju neogotická Kaplnka Božského Srdca Ježišovho z roku 1897, postavená o sto metrov východnejšie na brehu Váhu. Z bývalej kaplnky sa v nej dochoval obraz umučenia sv. Jána Nepomuckého od K. Švestku (1882). Liturgické zariadenie pochádza od Ľ. Chmelára (1975). Evanjelický kostol a. v. je novogotická stavba z roku 1905 postavená podľa projektu J. Krátkeho. V meste stoja tiež dve sakrálne stavby z konca 20. storočia. Farský kostol sv. Cyrila a Metoda z roku 1996 je od M. Bišťana. Obsahuje oltár Najsvätejšej Trojice (1630) a krížovú cestu od A. M. Meissela (1891). Kaplnka Sedembolestnej Panny Márie z roku 1997 od Ľ. Mrňu a M. Kajlicha bola postavená na mieste staršej, ktorá fungovala od roku 1943 v budove bývalej Župnej nemocnice. Liturgické zariadenie v kaplnke je od Ľ. Chmelára a sochy od M. Lukáča (1997). Kaplnka je súčasťou sakrálneho komplexu s pastoračným centrom a exercičným domom, ktorý spravujú jezuiti.
 Svetské stavby
 Jednou z najstarších svetských budov je Kurhotel (bývalé riaditeľstvo kúpeľov). Má pravdepodobne renesančné jadro, viackrát prestavované až do dnešnej podoby. Napoleonské kúpele sú súborom klasicistických budov postavených v troch etapách v rokoch 18221862. Kursalon (tiež Kúpeľná dvorana) je eklektická budova z roku 1893 podľa projektu I. Alpára. Sídli v nej Balneologické múzeum Imricha Wintera. Kúpele Františka Jozefa (niekedy len Františkove kúpele) z roku 1898 boli pomenované po panovníkovi Františkovi Jozefovi I.. Tento klenot architektúry od E. Pollacka zmizol z povrchu Kúpeľného ostrova v roku 1965 pre zlú statiku. Voda z rieky Váh totiž pretekala do bazénov. O šetrnejšom riešení napr. inom využití sa zrejme neuvažovalo. V západnej časti mesta sa nachádza bývalá obecná dieselová elektráreň „Elektrárňa Piešťany“ z roku 1906, v roku 2013 zrekonštruovaná ako kultúrne centrum. Zo secesnej éry sa zachovali tri významné hotelové komplexy. Prvým je Grand Hotel Royal (Slovan) z roku 1906 podľa projektu A. Oberländera. Od uzavretia v roku 1986 budova chátra, napriek tomu, že je kultúrna pamiatka secesného štýlu. Ďalšou secesnou stavbou je Hotel Lipa z roku 1912 od Henrika Böhma a Armina Hegedűsa s dvomi o poschodie prečnievajúcimi rizalitmi. Objekt je od 90. rokoch 20. storočia v dezolátnom stave. Thermia Palace-Irma je komplex kúpeľného hotela a balneoterapie opäť od Böhma a Hegedűsa, dokončený v roku 1912, jedno z vrcholných diel doznievajúcej secesie na Slovensku.
 V meste sa nachádzajú aj viaceré kvalitné objekty z čias ČSR. Funkcionalizmus zastupujú súbor hotelov Excelsior a Eden od Pavla Weisza (19281930) či budova Poštového a telegrafného úradu od Emila Belluša. Zaujímavou je tiež Vodárenská veža z roku 1928 radiaca sa medzi ukážky funkcionalistickej technickej architektúry. Významnou pamiatkou z éry socializmu je Dom umenia z rokov 19741979 od F. Milučkého. Jedinou výškovou a zároveň najvyššou budovou v meste je so 60 metrami Hotel Magnólia.
 Mosty
 Stoja tu i dva osobité mosty. Krajinský most od J. Činčeru a I. Grebenika naprojektovaný v rokoch 19301931 a Kolonádový most od E. Belluša, ktorý je významnou funkcionalistickou stavbou z rokov 19301933, so sochou barlolámača od R. Kühmayera a leptami do skla od M. Benku.
 Hospodárstvo a infraštruktúra
 Ekonomika mesta a zamestnanosť jeho obyvateľov je do značnej miery naviazaná na tradíciu kúpeľníctva v meste. Najviac podnikateľských subjektov aj zamestnancov je viazaných v terciárnom sektore ekonomiky. Najväčším zamestnávateľom v Piešťanoch sú dlhodobo Slovenské liečebné kúpele Piešťany, a. s. (viac než 1000 zamestnancov v roku 2015). V oblasti kúpeľnej a zdravotnej starostlivosti sú významnými zamestnávateľmi s viac než 250 zamestnancami tiež FMC – dialyzačné služby, s.r.o., HOREZZA, a. s. (Vojenský kúpeľný ústav), Nemocnica Alexandera Wintera, n.o.; ďalej Národný ústav reumatických chorôb a tiež špecializovaný inštitút rehabilitácie a neurológie ADELI s.r.o. Strojársku, elektrotechnickú a zdravotechnickú tradíciu po významných podnikoch, ktoré v meste vznikli počas socializmu (Tesla, Chirana), udržujú STAKOTRA MANUFACTURING, ON Semiconductor, Chirana Progress či Diplomat – Dental Solutions. Medzi zamestnávateľov s viac než 250 zamestnancami sa zaraďuje ešte TAVOS, Mesto Piešťany a Home Credit.
 Mesto má oproti krajskému a celoslovenskému priemeru vysoký počet obyvateľov s vysokoškolským vzdelaním (18,8 %) aj so stredoškolským vzdelaním s maturitou (38,6 % v roku 2015). V roku 2019 dochádzalo za prácou alebo štúdiom do Bratislavy denne viac než 4 500 ľudí, čo predstavuje vzhľadom na počet obyvateľov mesta najvyšší pomer zo všetkých miest Trnavského kraja a po Trnave, Pezinku a Stupave štvrtý najvyšší počet v absolútnych číslach na Slovensku.
 Doprava
 Piešťany sú prístupné diaľnicou D1 (E75) Bratislava – Hričovské Podhradie. Križovatka ciest číslo 61 (Trnava – Trenčín) a 499 (Myjava – Topoľčany). Mestom prechádza železničná trať číslo 120 Bratislava – Žilina (od 1876). Medzinárodné letisko s charterovou dopravou (10 500 pasažierov v roku 2019) sa nachádza severne od centra mesta. Mestská hromadná doprava je zabezpečená jedenástimi autobusovými linkami. Už od obdobia po roku 1945 je v meste zvýšená hustota cyklistov, Piešťany sú známe tiež pod prezývkou mesto bicyklov pre časté využívanie cyklodopravy v rámci mesta.
 Približne v období rokov 18301930 sa v Piešťanoch rozvinul jedinečný spôsob osobnej dopravy medzi Starými Piešťanmi, Teplicami a Kúpeľným ostrovom, tzv. infanteristické vozíky. Šlo o človekom ťahané dvojkolesové vozíky na prevoz kúpeľných pacientov v nepriaznivom počasí na štýl taxíkov, ich prevádzkovatelia sa volali infanteristi. Tento vedľajší spôsob obživy pre chudobnejšie vrstvy obyvateľstva sa z obce vytratil po zriadení omnibusových a autobusových liniek.
 Príroda
 Najväčším a najstarším parkom je Sad Andreja Kmeťa. Na kúpeľnom ostrove je Kúpeľný park. Neďaleko mesta v katastrálnom území obce Banka je lesopark Červená Veža (tiež Rádiový vrch). Školský park Strednej záhradníckej školy (Botanická záhrada) slúži na pedagogické účely a je verejnosti neprístupný. Na priehrade Sĺňava bola vyhlásená študijná plocha vďaka hojnému počtu hniezdisk vzácnych vtákov. Na časti Vážskeho ostrova v katastrálnom území mesta je obecné chránené územie Lido.
 Šport a turistika
 Mesto má veľké množstvo športovísk (zimný štadión, futbalový štadión, basketbalovú halu, deväťjamkové golfové ihrisko, squashové a tenisové kurty, kryté plavárne), vodné športy ako kanoistika, veslovanie či jachting možno pestovať na jazere Sĺňava (vodnolyžiarsky vlek na Ratnovskej zátoke).

Dlhodobú tradíciu majú v meste vodné športy všeobecne, či už v bazénoch alebo na otvorenej vode na Váhu a Sĺňave. Z plaveckých športov fungujú v meste tri kluby – vodnopólový KVP Kúpele Piešťany (víťaz mužskej československej ligy v sezóne 1965/66 a ženskej 1. ligy v sezóne 2015/16) a dva plavecké kluby – ŠPK Kúpele Piešťany, ktorého odchovankyňou je tiež olympijská medailistka Martina Moravcová, a Piešťanský plavecký klub.
