*Families are responsible for communicating meet entry issues with their athlete’s respective coach, as their primary coach is most responsible for their athlete’s training and competitive plan

**Once the final entry deadline has passed, no changes may be made on FCST’s end. Athletes can deck-enter at the meet (if allowed by meet management) at their own expense and with the coach’s permission. This is not the most ideal way to enter a meet, having schedules planned ahead of time is very beneficial to the athlete.

2022 FIRST COLONY SWIM TEAM

40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE TEAM FUNDRAISER

The FCST Board of Directors and the FCST Coaching Staff would like to welcome you to our 2022 Team Fundraiser. We are thrilled to be celebrating 40 years of excellence this year! First Colony Swim Team was founded in 1981. Over the past 40 years, we have become one of the top teams in Gulf Swimming and the nation, developing successful all-around athletes from the age group level to college to Masters. FCST is proud to have excelled through the challenges we have faced, consistently offering strong training and competition to keep our athletes focused on their future in competitive swimming. With your support, we know we can continue this trend of excellence into the next 40 years.

 

Fundraising is an important part of making FCST a better, stronger team where its swimmers are rewarded for their commitment and hard work. This year’s fundraiser will be pivotal as we continue to fight for our team’s place as one of the best organizations in GULF swimming and across the United States.  We believe that the FCST family is as strong as it ever has been and will continue to grow even stronger as we work together to ensure the continued success of the team. Here’s to 40 more years of excellence!

 

Our staff has strived to make the fundraising process as quick and painless as possible for you. These instructions will give your swimmer(s) and family detailed information on how the fundraiser will work. This year’s setup and implementation will be the same process that we followed in 2021.  We will again be using Snap! Raise as our online platform.  It is important to read the instructions below carefully.  This year’s fundraiser will ALSO have prizes for swimmers, as well as a bowling and pizza party hosted by Coach Pete for the group that raises the highest average amount per swimmer!

 

 

This year’s fundraiser will begin on February 10th; and the deadline for money to be returned for the Grand Prizes will be March 10th. In the event, that an FCST family does not participate in the Fundraiser, they will be billed on 3/30/2020 $100.00 per swimmer with a maximum of $200.00 per family. The fundraiser agreement is part of FCST’s registration packet that all families signed when they registered for the team. (This fundraising requirement does NOT apply to Swim League and Masters swimmers.)
