Pre-Competitive Program
Update: 4/24/25 Summer precomp is now available to view and will be available for purchase on 4/28/25 at 8:00PM.
Our Pre-Competitive program is held at Montclair Swim Club. This program is available for swimmers ages 6-9 who meet the prerequisites. Your swimmer will learn the basic mechanics of an efficient and effective competitive stroke, the basics of competitive starts and turns, and be introduced to the structure and rhythm of a competitive swim team practice. Our curriculum is based on the American Development Model by USA-Swimming (Level 1), however we are customizing our program based on the group's needs. Swimmers who have successfully completed four sessions will have priority to join PST’s competitive swim team.
We are now offering a precomp class on Friday and Saturdays:
Friday: Montclair Swim Club and will run from 3:45 - 4:45pm (1901 Woodhaven Way Oakland CA 95611)
Saturdays: Northeastern College, Trefethan Aquatic Center from 9:30 to 10:15am (5000 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland CA 94613)

Prerequisites:
Participants should be able to comfortably swim 25 yards in Freestyle with some basic knowledge of Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. Those who don’t fulfill these requirements should enroll in private lessons to develop their swimming skills for future placement.
If you are concerned your swimmer is not ready for the Pre Competetive Program contact our Senior Instructor Zach Blanchard and schedule an evaluation. Zach will let you know if your swimmer is ready for precomp or needs more time in lessons. Evaluations take at most 5 - 10 minutes to complete.
Schedule an evaluation with Zach by emailing Zachary@piedmontswimteam.org
