Swim with FAST at the Michigan State Meet - April 15th-178th, 2011, East Kentwood HS, Mi (near Grand Rapids)
DO YOU OWN A SWIMSUIT? YOU'RE ON THE TEAM.
Get ready for a swimming road trip! The FAST women have a State Championship title to defend and the men and women will try to recapture the overall team title in 2011. There is a dance competition in the area the same weekend as State Meet so hotel space is limited.
The meet director has said they will run several heats of the 1650 much earlier than last year, so swimmers won’t have to wait until 10pm to swim their Friday distance events. If you cannot make it to the west side in the afternoon, you can swim your distance events at the normal time. (Typically warm-up starts at 5 p.m. on Friday night).
The meet will be at: East Kentwood HS, 6329 Kalamazoo Ave SE, Kentwood, Mi 49508

10. We will be working on starts, turns, and talk about competition rules on Saturday swims in February and March. Our veteran swimmers will walk you through what to expect and what to bring.
