About Us
| The Idaho Falls Swim Team holds practices 11 months a year at the Wes Diest Aquatic Center in Idaho Falls (formerly the Idaho Falls Aquatic Center). The length and frequency of practices depends on a swimmer’s age group. IFST attends swim meets throughout the year, generally one per month during the school year and more through the summer months. Competition is optional, but highly recommended. The Vision of the Idaho Falls Swim Team is to provide an environment where youth can reach their personal swimming goals, from learning to swim to national level competition. Guiding swimmers as they translate values and skills developed in swimming into life skills is an integral part of our commitment to youth. We welcome swimmers from Age 5 through High School. See Our 2009 Welcome Letter as well as Training Groups for more information. |
News and Announcements
IFY and IFST are going to have a TIME TRIAL meet on Friday, Feb. 5.
Ron is in the process of getting the event sanctioned so all the times will count as "official times".
Still needed:
- administrator / clerk - must have the training
- deck officials
- a lot of timers - we are using watches so we need a lot of YOU
The reason for the time trial meet is so more PIRANHAS can attain legal times in more events. THEN they can participate in the SRS Winter Championship meet on Feb. 19-21.
