1. What is FOST? The Forest Oaks Swim Team or “FOST” is a competitive swim team organized to “FOSTer” the abilities, skills, and sportsmanship of youth swimmers in a fun and team spirited environment. FOST is a parent run summer league swim team which is dependant upon parent volunteers to organize the team and work swim meets. FOST can register swimmers from Enchanted Oaks, Cypress Forest Estates, Oaks of Devonshire, Woods of Devonshire, and any subdivision that does not have an NWAL team, or any other subdivision where you must pay a private club membership fee in order to swim on their team.
