To qualify for FAST Your child needs to be able to swim 25 yards of Freestyle and 25 yards Backstroke to be considered for the team. On the first day, we will test all swimmers to place them in the appropriate group and will let you know at that time if the swim team is the right fit for your child. If your child is not quite ready for FAST our swim team coaches will recommend a swim lesson level that is appropriate for your child to learn the skills required to eventually join the swim team.
