Pre-Team

FAST Tiger Pre-Team is a group intended for swimmers age 6-14 who are able to swim at least 50 yards of freestyle, 50 yards of backstroke and are able to kick 50 yards of any stroke.  Many swimmers use Pre-Team as a transition step in between swim lessons and the competitive team while some swimmers choose to remain in the Pre-Team group.

​

Practices are coached by FAST Tiger coaches! Coach Paula Hardin is our lead coach for the pre-team group.  Occasionally another FAST Tiger coach may coach this group.

​

WHILE registration is available there will be a link provided on this page for online registration.
