Hello FAST Family!!

Welcome back & we are thrilled to have all of our new swimmers. Tomorrow May 10th is our 1st dual HOME meet against the Heatherwood Hurricanes. We will be swimming at our Central Park Pool at 15015 Heath Green Circle, Cypress, TX 77433. So let's grab your sunscreen, coolers and ice and let's have a great first dual meet. Don't forget to wear your fast gear!

Team Shirts will be available to pick up on Saturday if you were not able to make it to the photos this week. Please find Paul Pierron to pick up your gear. He will be set up near the clubhouse.

Visiting Team Setup
Below find a map of our grounds. Please note we have given the Heatherwood Hurricanes Team the area against the roadway to the sidewalk noted in the map. They will need to set up their kids' tents as well family tents so let’s allow our guests to have that area.

FAST Team Setup
On the same map below, please note that our kid tents will be setup on half of the basketball courts. The other half needs to remain open for any resident that wants to come and play. Our swimmers should not be using this area. FAST Families are allowed to setup inside the sidewalk along the Basketball courts just not on. Additional FAST setup is behind the pool in the shaded area on the attached map. 

Ready Bench
Reminder that ONLY swimmers and Ready Bench volunteers are allowed in this area. Once your child enters this area, the Ready Bench team will handle it from there. Please make sure your swimmers are getting to the ready bench on time. Tent Parents will help your child to get to their events on time. This helps the meet run much more smoothly.

Reminders from Coaching Staff

      • check in and talk to coaches after every event 

      • stay in the water until your heat is done 

      • when getting on the blocks, the whistle does not start you, the buzzer does!                    The Whistle is for the step up.

      • if you feel the rope in the water, STOP and go back to blocks
