Forest Area Swim Team

The FAST Frogs are excited to announce our Summer Swim Lesson program! Read below for information and links to register.

The FAST Frog Lesson Program is designed for entry-level swimmers who have little to no prior swimming experience. Swimmers must be four years old as of June 1 to be eligible for the Lessons program. 

For the 2024 swim season, the registration priority for the Lesson Program is given to members of the Lake Forest, Forest Creek, and Forest Creek III Homeowners Associations (HOAs), and siblings of non-HOA FAST Frogs swimmers. However, swim lessons is open to non-HOA swimmers as well. 

During June lessons, if an HOA resident swimmer makes adequate progress as determined by the coaching staff, they may be moved into the Tadpoles program and may even be made eligible to participate in FAST Frogs swim meets. Non-HOA swimmers are not eligible to be moved into the Tadpoles program. 

Lessons will be 30-minute group sessions generally with a 3:1 swimmer-to-coach ratio to ensure swimmer safety and adequate instruction. There will be one Lessons course, duration of four weeks. Lessons will generally run from Monday through Thursday.

Lessons will be held at 8:30 am, 9 am or 9:30 am. After a swimmer is registered, they can use the Sign Up Genius link to reserve a time slot on a first come, first serve basis. 

All Lessons are held at one of the three HOA pools TBA.

Registration fees for the June Session are $190 for the four week session. Evaluations are not required, and swimmers may be moved between coaches based on their progress during lessons, and may be asked to join Tadpoles and swim at meets.

Registration fees for the July Session are $140 for the three week session. Evaluations are not required, and swimmers may be moved between coaches based on their progress during lessons.

The Forest Area Swim Team (FAST), with permission from the Forest Creek (FC), Lake Forest (LF) and Forest Creek III (FCIII) HOA’s, uses the HOA pools in the participating neighborhoods for swim practices. Residents must be in good standing with their home HOA to register with FAST. 

Lessons participants are not counted as Returning Swimmers for 2024 season registration and will follow the registration priority documented in the FAST Frogs registration policy.
