Fast Talkers

FAST Talkers, an educational outreach program of swimmers who have participated in the Alcatraz swim, go into Pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms with a water safety message. They are a dedicated group of accomplished swimmers who reach out to younger kids to make a difference.

A major part of drowning prevention is education. We are helping young children realize the dangers that water can present. By knowing basic rules of water safety even young children can become safer around the water.

The FAST Talkers is now a nationally recognized program and was asked to present at the 7th Annual National Drowning Prevention Symposium in 2008 in Irvine, CA. One comment from an audience member:

“I’m really impressed that these young swimmers can get out to communities and help in a way that adults can’t… they can reach preschoolers at a different level and actually capture their attention.”
