FAST families,

The 2021 FAST swim season looks different than we ever anticipated, but we are committed to having a great 3 sessions for our community this summer.

Each 3-week session will be identical – focusing on stroke techniques. Each hour of practice will have a maximum of 32 swimmers in the water, with 64 swimmers total in each session.
The coaches will remain the same throughout the session, working with the same swimmers in the same lane at every practice. We hope that these procedures will lessen the possibility of COVID spread amongst the team.

At the end of each 3-week session, we will host an intersquad “fun meet.” All of our 64 swimmers from the session will be competing against each other. We will not swim against other CCSL teams this season. If you are a returning swim family, these meets will not look like the ones of the past. We will definitely race, but we will not “seed” swimmers according to event times. We will not need a “ready area” or parent volunteers. These “fun meets” will be run exclusively by our FAST board of directors and our coaching staff.

Ribbons will not be awarded at these meets, but your child’s swim times WILL be recorded and put in the parent portal. No races this summer will be eligible for all-time records.

It is our sincere hope that we will be back in 2022 for a “regular” full season, swimming against other CCSL teams.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
