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 an Individual Assessment. 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.
