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.
