Hey FAST Families,

We have a busy day ahead with tonight's home meet and our iSwimFAST-a-Thon preparations. Information for both is below.

7/8 Home Meet Info

We are looking forward to tonight's home meet with Greene Hills and Gordonsville!

Arrival & Warm-Ups: Our warm-up time is 4:50 PM, so please plan to arrive at 4:35 PM so we have time to get organized before getting in the water.

The meet will begin at 6:00 PM immediately following the National Anthem.

Meet Theme: Tonight's theme is Christmas in July! Break out your Christmas shirts, Santa hats, festive socks, or any other holiday gear and have some fun with it!

Before You Arrive

• The heat sheet and FAST entry sheet are attached below.
• Please have your swimmer's events, heats, and lanes written on their hand if at all possible.
• Don't forget your FAST swim cap, goggles, towels, and plenty of water.

Team Area: Seating arrangements will be the same as our last home meet.

• Swimmers will sit on the right side of the pool deck.
• Parents and spectators should sit upstairs.
• Families are also welcome to sit on the front patio as well. There is no seating available there, so please bring chairs and shade if you plan to sit outside.

Volunteers: Thank you to everyone who has signed up to help! We are nearly fully staffed, which is greatly appreciated.

We are still looking for:

• 1 second-half Heat Winner Hander Outer
• 1 volunteer to help hand out refreshments to our meet volunteers

If you're available to help with either role, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Food & Drinks: A food truck will be parked outside throughout the meet, and FAST will also be selling lemonade during the evening.

iSwimFAST-a-Thon Info

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our kickoff meeting last night!

If you weren't able to attend, no worries! You can still get everything set up by following the attached instruction sheet HERE.

For now, we are only completing Steps 1 and 2:

• Join the fundraising platform.
• Add your contacts.

Please do not begin reaching out to your contacts yet. We will officially launch the online fundraising tomorrow, so for now simply stop after Step 2.

Families with multiple swimmers can either create one shared account or split their contacts between multiple accounts. We want to avoid having multiple swimmers from the same family reaching out to the same people.

Please take a few minutes to add as many contacts as you're able to. Having your contacts entered ahead of tomorrow's launch will make the process much smoother.

To review more information about the Swim-a-Thon and what we're raising money for, please click HERE.

Thank you all for your participation and support! As a reminder, there is no minimum fundraising requirement to participate. Every swimmer is encouraged to join us, regardless of how much they raise.

If you have any questions about tonight's meet or the Swim-a-Thon, feel free to reach out.

See you all on deck!

Coach Mike DiFazio
