We are excited to introduce the JCC Sharks Pre-Team to the 2019-2020 season.

The pre-team will serve as an introduction to the swim team environment and help swimmers develop their strokes, technique, endurance and speed through smaller group training. Our coaching staff will work with these swimmers twice per week in a positive and encouraging environment and help to transition these swimmers towards the competitive team. By the end of the season, it will be the goal of the program to have these swimmers compete in 1-2 meets towards the end of the season.

We welcome coach Bill Albertson as the new head coach of the JCC Sharks for the 2019-2020 season. Coach Bill as he’s referred to by his swimmers has nearly 40 years working in and around the pool. He is a recent retiree of Washington Township High School where he was a Physical Education Teacher for 34 years.

From 2000-2017, he served as the head coach of the Washington Township High School wherein both 2008 and 2011 he was named the Gloucester County Times Coach of the Year. Over the past 6 years, he has served as an Assistant Coach to the Lake Kandle summer swim team.
