Subject: [FAST News] Corpus Travel Meet Notes

For families that are planning on signing up and attending the Corpus Christi travel meet, here are a couple of important notes and reminders.


First and most importantly, please note that the meet entries for the Corpus meet are due Monday June 8th!! This is earlier than normal meet entries are due for local meets in relation to days before the meet. If you are planning on going and have not done so yet, please make sure to go online and sign up for the meet using the FAST online meet entry system. If for some reason you can not do this, please let your coach know immediately that you plan to attend. Monday June 8th is this coming Monday, so please make sure you sign up.

Next, we have received several inquiries as to if a swimmer has to participate in the entire weekend of swimming to be allowed to go to the travel meet. The answer is no. You may swim 1 day, 2 days or all three days of the meet. Since this is not a "bus trip" meet where were are required to leave and return as a full group, and parents are transporting the swimmers, you may sign up for whatever schedule fits.

Hotels. There is an excellent Google link for hotels in the immediate vicinity of the pool located here:

And a reminder that this meet is an "Open" classification meet, meaning that B/C, BB and A and above level swimmers may participate. So swimmers from all groups from Barracudas to Seniors may take part.

We hope parents give serious consideration to attending this meet as travel swim meets are always fun events that create a lot of memories for the kids that attend. We would like to make this a start of a tradition for FAST.
