F.A.S.T. (Fayette Area Swim Team) is a member of the S.A.L.T. (Smallest Aquatic League in Texas) competitive swimming league. Other members of the league include the Columbus Catfish, Schulenburg Sharks and WAKE Aquatics of Rockdale. Competition structure is 3 dual meets (2 team competitions). 1 meet is conducted with each member team (rotating home and away meets per competitive team each year). With current league membership, F.A.S.T. competes in 3 regular season meets and qualifying swimmers compete in the Meet of Champs - the only meet where all 4 teams compete together.
Home meets are usually held on Saturday's at Camp Lone Star pool. Away meets may be held on a Saturday morning or Monday evening at the respective opponents pool. The Meet of Champs is currently held at the El Campo Aquatic center on a Saturday and marks the end of the season.
F.A.S.T. is open to all school aged children in the Fayette County and surronding counties area. Registration occurs mid to late March and will stay open for two weeks. Late registration extends one additional week in April. Registration is online and the link will be published on our website, Facebook page, and in the paper. Additional notifications will be provided over local radio.
Currently, the season begins with tryouts in May and concludes by the end of June. Swimmers must compete in a minimum of 2 meets to be eligible for the Meet of Champs. Optional opportunities for those wishing to build their swimmers skills and/or extend the swim season may be available and will be presented at the time of or shortly after registration for opt-in.
High School Senior swimmers are eligible for scholarships from F.A.S.T. This is a great benefit of participating. Scholarships are based on the number of years each swimmer participates during their high school years with a bonus for swimming prior to high school. Seniors must swim their senior year or complete the alternative qualification requirements to be eligible. See the Scholarships & Fundraising page for additional information.
