FAST Masters takes 2nd at COMSA States once again! Congratulations to our amazing swimmers for coming down to Arvada and showcasing their best efforts this weekend.
We will also post a part 2 of photos on our socials momentarily because your social media manager had a hard time picking just 10 😜

Also, special shoutouts to Sarah and Matt for running the computer and navigating a couple of issues!

We can't wait to do it again next year!

TJ Cravens is our featured swimmer this month! He's been crushing Coach Eric's tough sets (yes, despite COMSA states being next weekend, we've had some hard sets 😂). Thanks TJ for sharing your story and fun facts with us!

The Tuesday 11:30 Mid D and multi-sport crew nailed 🔨 this session! Blend of pulling to help reinforce good pacing and fin work to teach a sustainable and supportive kick. Then some pace changes with the Fartlek style 100’s and finish up with a draft party.

DAB - Double Arm Backstroke which is great for loosening up between sets.
Fartlek - Swedish for “speed play,” is a flexible, continuous training method mixing fast, high-intensity with slow recovery. While we used a fixed distance with the 100’s the goal was to get the swimmers moving fast and teach them how to better use active recovery between fast efforts.
Draft Party - repeat 25’s where swimmers leave the wall almost immediately on the feet of the swimmer ahead of them. Great practice for open water races and swimmers will rotate to feel the differences between leading and the added benefit of drafting.

Masters first session with working on better underwater efficiency.

FAST Fridays are back for 2026, and this month we're celebrating Barb Martin! She is in, out and around water as a swimmer, COMSA official, and working with water accessibility and delivery with her job. Thank you Barb for sharing!
