Pre-Competitive Swimming

Excel Aquatics is excited to offer a pre-competitive program at our Colonie swim studio for young swimmers, ages 6 and up who have a firm grasp of competitive Freestyle and Backstroke, and are interested in exploring the world of competitive swimming. Practices are 45 minutes in length.

Learn the Basics of Competitive Swimming

Excel Aquatics’ pre-competitive program is a great way for children to learn competitive swimming basics with a group of peers without the commitment that comes with being on a competitive team. This is a multi-week program focused on teaching and refining all 4 swim strokes (Freestyle, Backstroke, Butterfly, and Breaststroke), maintaining a healthy exercise routine in a supportive atmosphere, and most of all having fun. Coaches work with swimmers both in and out of the water to ensure proper and complete instruction.

Available class times can be found below. Base pricing can be found HERE, and the cost upon signing up is based on the number of weeks of the current month.

Upcoming Registration Date

Registration for December lessons open November 17th at 8am!
