Pre-Competition Program

 
The Pre-Competition Program is a unique part of the Bergen Sharks Program that offers the Bergen Sharks experience to those new to competitive swimming. Participants are instructed on everything from proper technique to Starts, Turns and Finishes to Strength and Conditioning and everything else an aspiring Shark needs to join the Team. Pre-Competition is lead and directed by our Bergen Sharks Coaching staff, which allows swimmers to get first hand experience of professional coaching while developing their talents. 
 
Pre-Competition is offered at regular intervals throughout the year, generally 5 sessions are offered (Fall, Early Winter, Late Winter/Early Spring, Spring and Summer) for 8 or 10 week periods. We offer Pre-Comp twice a week, Sunday and/or Wednesday, with your choice of participating in the Sunday or the Wednesday Session or you may choose to do both days for a more complete experience. Currently, Pre-Comp is offered in 45 minute time spands on the approriated days and encompasses all facets of Competitive Swimming. While much of Pre-Comp is learning, the Bergen Sharks also promote a healthly and fun-filled experience. The Pre-Comp program is truly a hybrid program in every sense and quite a unique one at that. While the focus and long-term goal is to excel in competitive swimming, the primary focus is on learning all the introductory components, building a solid foundation from the start.
 
Pre-Comp is offered either on Sunday at 12:15 - 1 pm and/or Wednesday at 3:45 - 4:30 pm
