A longtime member of the Fullerton Aquatics Sports Team (FAST) Masters program has earned national recognition for an extraordinary achievement in the pool. Bob Bergstrom, 85, placed first in the nation in the annual One Hour Swim competition, covering an impressive 2,825 yards in 60 minutes. The event, held each January, challenges swimmers across the country to see who can swim the greatest distance in one hour. Bergstrom topped the field in the 85–89 age group.

Bergstrom has been swimming with FAST for 48 years. The team trains at the Janet Evans Swim Complex, located in Independence Park. Over nearly five decades, he has remained a dedicated presence in the program and continues to demonstrate that competitive spirit has no age limit.
The FAST Masters program welcomes swimmers of varying abilities. Participation in competitions is optional, and many members join simply to stay fit, improve their technique, and enjoy the camaraderie of team workouts.
