NASA Showcase Classic Wrap-Up

 

NASA Showcase Classic wrap-up

 

 

21 FCST Age group swimmers competed in the annual National Age Group Swimming Association (NASA) Showcase Classic, April 16-19 in Clearwater, Florida.

 

This is a unique meet with an athlete friendly format, providing a quality age-group meet with many clubs throughout the nation participating. Qualification standards are National ‘AA’ times for ages 9&U, 11, and 13 year olds; National ‘AAA’ times for 10, 12, and 14 year olds. Finals each evening consist of the top 10 prelim times from each single age along with 9&U, giving ample opportunity to earn second swims. Qualifiers were also offered bonus swims in the preliminaries to make for a more meaningful meet and complete lineup. 

 

This meet served our travelers well, as many traveled and competed for the first time on their own. Competing in a new environment with unfamiliar surroundings, increased responsibility of nutrition and recovery, and performing to reach ones goals are some of the challenges our athletes managed very well, as these challenges will present themselves again at future meets. It’s our goal to take 30 kids to this meet next year.

 

Families and friends can follow along with meet updated and pictures on our FCST facebook page.
