The Idaho Falls Swim Team holds practices 11 months a year at the Wes Diest Aquatic Center in Idaho Falls (formerly the Idaho Falls Aquatic Center). The length and frequency of practices depends on a swimmer’s age group.

IFST attends swim meets throughout the year, generally one per month during the school year and more through the summer months. Competition is optional, but highly recommended.

Senior swimmers (13 and over) may have additional activities, generally planned within the group. These older swimmers work at "Alive After Five" during the summer to help pay for optional activities or equipment.
