Fairhope Area Summer Swim Team

F.A.S.T.

Dear FAST Families,

As you may have heard, our city pool is undergoing much-needed construction to ensure the facility remains safe for our community. The city council had hoped to begin this work earlier, but due to unforeseen circumstances the project was delayed. Construction finally began at the end of February and will most likely continue through mid-summer.

Because of this, our board has been working hard to explore options that would still allow us to have a swim season this summer. Unfortunately, there are currently no competition-size pools available for us to use on the Eastern Shore. However, we were offered the opportunity to use the pool at Bishop State Community College on Hospital and Broad Street in downtown Mobile.

We are very grateful for the chance to use this pool and are hopeful that it could serve as a temporary home for FAST this summer. Before we can move forward with registration, we need your help. Renting the facility will come with additional costs, and we need to determine if it is feasible for our team.

Please take a moment to complete the attached Google Form to let us know if your family plans to sign up for FAST this summer, knowing that practices will most likely take place in downtown Mobile for at least the month of June. We ask that you complete only one form per family and answer as honestly as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Thank you so much for your time and support as we work through this unexpected situation. We appreciate your help in keeping FAST swimming this summer!

Sincerely,
The FAST Board

Please post your Videos and pictures of the swim season to our page so we can all see the Swimmers and Coaches!!!!!!

Just a reminder about Weather and FAST FAST will practice Monday thru Friday, Rain or Shine.

If it is just rain the swimmers will swim, if there is thunder and the lifeguards issue a "out of pool" order until all clear the Coaches will implement Land techniques and skills to help the Swimmer until the Pool is reopened.

Recreation continues to grow on rapidly in Fairhope, and consequently, our summer swim team has grown significantly over the past few years.We have had over 250 swimmers participate for the FAST Sharks for the past 5 years. In an effort to keep everyone informed about the FAST meets and events, we are constantly working to communicate as effectively as possible each summer. We will be posting current info on the FAST Facebook page as well as sending mass email messages. We have added this info page up for you to access as well. We hope this will answer any questions parents might have. Remember, we are all parent volunteers and we need your involvement and support.

Thank you from the FAST board.
