FAST Fins Mountain View Aquatic Center

Mountain View Aquatic Center 2650 Gordy Parkway, Marietta, GA

Instructional Pool

Dates: 2/21, 2/28, 3/14, 3/21, 4/4, 4/11, 4/18 (Closed on March 7th and 28th)

FAST Fins does not offer swim lessons – participants must be able to swim and be safe in the water without flotation. FAST Fins is a swim team, not swim lessons. Not only do swimmers need to be able to swim, they need to WANT to swim. We understand that playing and splashing in the water is fun, but FAST Fins is a time set aside for swimming laps and working on technique to attain better skills and confidence in the water.

Spring Registration Opens Tuesday, January 7th in the Family Portal!

Eligibility
FOCUS Kid must be ages 5-29 years old at the start of the Swim Season.
Can swim in deep water without flotation or adult assistance
Able (and willing) to swim at least 25 yards (the length of the pool) without any assistance
Swim strokes do not need to be developed, but they must be able to swim on top of the water in a safe manner
Able to follow directions of safety and take instruction in a group setting
Be cooperative and follow directions in a group

Recurring

Focus Share Group

Chick-fil-A Scenic Highway 1559 Scenic Hwy N, Snellville, GA, United States

Children participating in FOCUS activities range in age from birth through 29 years old and have lifelong developmental and/or physical disabilities. Some common diagnoses include but are not limited to cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, spina bifida, degenerative illnesses, and rare genetic syndromes.
BENEFIT
Share Groups are free support groups for parents and meet monthly (September to May) in several locations around metro Atlanta so parents can meet other parents and share tips, fears, and joys. Support Groups also called Share Groups are the backbone of FOCUS, the first program ever offered. Parent volunteers facilitate the groups, keeping them positive, constructive, and uplifting.
