Swim F.A.S.T. 2011 Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge Swims

It's all about Kids Saving Kids

FAST taps the talents and strengths of competitive swimmers for two purposes: (1) to organize and implement water safety events at Arizona schools and pools, and (2) to serve as teachers of water safety and swimming skills for groups of high-risk children.

All contributions through this site go to outreach, water safety and swimming lessons for high-risk groups without access to such support. In other words, each dollar is an investment in drowning prevention for the children of Arizona.
