Program Overview

The Piedmont Swim Team Pre-Comp Program provides young swimmers (ages 6-10) with a fun, supportive introduction to competitive swimming. Designed for athletes looking to refine their stroke mechanics, build endurance, and gain confidence in a swim team environment, this program serves as the perfect stepping stone toward PST’s competitive groups.

Is Pre-Comp Right for Your Swimmer?

Prerequisites:

Swimmers must pass a skill assessment prior to enrollment via one of two options:

• Option A — Tryouts (Preferred): Attend PST Tryouts during the week of August 24th. Contact joinPST@piedmontswimteam.org to reserve a spot.
• Option B — Individual Assessment: If unable to attend tryouts, email lessons@piedmontswimteam.org to request an individual assessment (subject to coach availability).

Program Highlights:

• No Long-Term Commitment: Pre-Comp athletes register on a term-by-term basis. No USA Swimming membership or PST annual team fees are required!
• Technique Focused: Specialized instruction on all 4 competitive strokes, breathing mechanics, streamlining, starts, and turns.
• Pathway to PST Green Group: Qualified Pre-Comp swimmers may receive a coach invitation to transition up to our competitive Green Group as pool spots become available.

Term 1 Schedule & Pricing

Each term includes 10 practices (2x per week for 5 weeks). Families select one fixed schedule option per term.

Space is limited to 18 swimmers per option to ensure individualized attention and high-quality coaching. Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Tuition: $450 per 10-practice session
• Term 2 Preview: Begins Oct 20 (Option A) and Oct 22 (Option B). (Note: Pre-Comp takes a winter break following Term 2 and resumes in late February).

Important Registration Policies

• Registration & Capacity: Completed online through our [Lesson Portal] following tryouts. Because each option is capped at 18 swimmers, we strongly encourage prompt registration. Families must re-register proactively for each upcoming term.
• Attendance Policy: Schedule options cannot be mixed or interchanged. PST does not offer pro-rated tuition or discounts for missed practices.
