FAST High School Prep Program
Rationale
High school swimming is an important component for our FAST senior athletes. The high school season is a great time for team building, skill progression, and continued development. Within each high school program, there are athletes who do not compete year-round in swimming. As such, they enter each new high school season needing to re-learn strokes, refine techniques, and increase conditioning and endurance. The FAST High School Prep Program offers these high school only swimmers an opportunity to remain in the water throughout periods of the year as best meets their schedule and affords them the opportunity to enter the next high school season much better prepared to contribute to their team immediately.
Session Schedule
The FAST High School Prep Program is divided into four 8-week sessions. Each session will offer athletes the opportunity to swim 4 mornings each week (M, T, Th, F from 6:30 - 8am) at the Fishers High School Natatorium and FAST recommends that athletes attend at least 3 workouts each week. Workouts will focus on stroke development, technique refinement, and aerobic conditioning.
Session 1* – July 10 - September 1
Session 2** – September 5 – October 20(Girls)/November 3(Boys)
Session 3 – February 5 - March 28
Session 4 - April 9 - May 31
* Starting with Session 1, Fishers High School athletes must have an 2023-2024 IHSAA Physical on file to begin swimming with this program.
Fee Schedule
Athletes will pay $250 per session to be part of the FAST High School Prep Program. This will include 2 Team Caps and 3 Team T-Shirts. In addition, athletes MUST BE registered with USA Swimming and be a Member in good standing. This is a separate Annual fee paid by the athlete upon registering with USA Swimming. The USA Swimming Registration fee is $90. Proof of receipt must be provided to the business manager at [email protected]. Any 18&Over athlete MUST also complete USA Swimming's Safesport Training for Athletes PRIOR to their 18th birthday.
** Session 2 will end on either October 20 for girls, November 3 for boys, due to the start of the Girls/Boys HS Season (respectively). Girls in session 2 will pay $225, Boys in session 2 will pay $275 for that session instead of $250.
Optional Meet Component
FAST High School Prep Program athletes will have the opportunity to compete FAST-hosted meets each year. While competitions are not required, athletes choosing to compete will swim for FAST. In addition, those choosing to compete will have a family event support requirement. Families will be required to provide event support for 1 position for each session in which the swimmer competes.
