A WORTHY VENTURE

Established in 2022, Florida Aquatics Swimming & Training (FAST) is a venture of the Circle Square Foundation. The state-of-the-art aquatic center with leading-edge technology provides the Ocala community and beyond with programs and training opportunities that benefit every phase of life. Circle Square Foundation Trustee Kenneth D. Colen states, “The performance mindset learned at FAST is carried beyond the pool and into that person’s life. FAST is for the betterment of the community as a whole.”

DEDICATED TO INNOVATION
AND EMPOWERMENT

The mission of FAST is to train swimmers and athletes of all ages and abilities to go beyond their best through exceptional coaching, premier facilities, and cutting-edge athletic programming. From learning to swim to professionals, FAST is always empowering our athletes to go beyond their best.

FAST offers learn-to-swim programs and swim lessons for all ages and abilities, along with aquatic fitness, open swim, life-saving water training for lifeguards and rescue personnel, and other various programs. FAST is home to the local high school teams, the FAST Falcons club team, and the FAST Falcons Masters.
