Pre-Competitive Program

The Pre-Competitive Program is designed to give swimmers a taste of the competitive experience without having to take on the full challenge of the competitive program. “Pre-Comp” is a good stepping stone for those wishing to become competitive synchronized swimmers, as well as a great place for those wanting more than the recreational program. This is a development-based full year program to introduce girls to the sport of synchronized swimming.

• Training begins at the beginner/developmental level. Basic synchro skills such as counting music, sculling, beginning figures and land drilling are taught. The philosophy of teamwork is introduced. It is the start of a solid foundation that helps swimmers develop and build their competitive synchro skills.
  
• As the swimmer's skills improve, moderate cross training and exercises derived from Pilates and Yoga to develop arm, leg, and core strength and flexibility are brought into the training spectrum.

Season:          September to May
Time Commitment:  4 hours per week
Practice Times: Mondays & Thursdays, from 5 - 7 pm at Brewer Pool

Swimmers will participate in the National Synchro Canada Star Program in a non-competitive environment.  Pre-Competitive teams will have the opportunity to pre-swim* figures and/or participate in team routine in at least one competition and may also participate in an invitational meet out-of-town, in addition to participating in our Winter and Spring club watershows. 
*Pre-Swimmers at a competition are scored but not ranked.
