What Do I Do First?
Placement Evaluation
Before joining our team, we ask that you come to have your swimmer evaluated for group placement and learn more about our team. This evaluation will help determine your swimmer's correct group placement and give you an opportunity to talk to the coaches and parents of swimmers currently on the team. The only requirement for your swimmer is to be able to swim 25 yard freestyle and 25 yard backstroke and have some knowledge of the other two strokes. Please have your swimmer bring a suit, goggles and towel.
If your swimmer does not meet the above requirements, FCST also offers a Pre-Competitive program and swim lessons. Information about the Pre-Competitive program can be found on the right hand side of this page.
