Supporting Minnesota Swimming and Diving

Mission Statement

Fast Lane Fans is a booster club for the University of Minnesota Men 's and Women's Swimming and Diving Teams. It helps support the teams in many important ways by:

Contributing to the salaries of the regenerative/rehabilitative specialists
Contributing to the Winter Training trips
Providing meals for student-athletes at meets which interfere with normal cafeteria hours
Contributing to the costs of supplies /equipment needed by coaches that would not be available if university budgets were the only source of funding
Financing the yearly updating of the All-American and Hall of Fame displays in the Aquatic Center galleries
Creating "Gopher Spirit" by wearing maroon and gold at meets and by making student-athletes aware of the enthusiastic support in the stands
Providing a newsletter and other information which summarizes, highlights and updates both the swimming and diving teams and the Fast Lane Fans activities.

Men's and women's swimming and diving at the University of Minnesota is rooted in tradition and success and is the result of many individuals working tirelessly year after year. Friends, alumni, community members, and parents of swimmers and divers have developed a very long history of making significant contributions to the men's and women's swimming and diving programs. Fast Lane Fans is a strategic part of the team working to help maintain the high quality of these Gopher programs. Funds raised from Fast Lane Fans activities go directly to support swimming and diving at the University.

These two teams have succeeded at the very highest levels over the last several years. Both teams are among the elite in the Big 10 Conference as well as in the NCAA. Combined, they have won six Big Ten Conference Championships in the past seven years! Among the many reasons for this success are:

Dedicated, talented student-athletes who are extremely successful both in the pool and in the classroom
Outstanding coaches
One of the top facilities in the United States
Friends, alumni, community members, and parents who conscientiously support the program

There is a lot of optimism for this season, both in the men's and the women's programs. Many top swimmers and divers are returning, and there are outstanding recruits who are beginning their collegiate careers at Minnesota. We need your help to keep these programs thriving!

You can be part of our organization too! Join the group by becoming a Fast Lane Fans member and help support men's and women's swimming and diving. Enjoy our many activities and meet other loyal Gopher boosters while having fun and being part of a great team working toward a common goal.
