Mantas Families, Summer goes fast! I told the senior swimmers in the water this morning that next week, yes next week, we start tapering for MRC’s, the first meet in our championship season. I also added that while taper does start next week, we’re not there yet and I appreciate the hard work they’ll put in this week ;) ALL remaining meets on our schedule can be committed to. There is one remaining Rochester Block Party taking place on Thursday, July 10. This will be a “last chance” for any...

Mantas Families, Thank you, for a great weekend of Mantas racing. I cannot say it enough. I am so impressed with how our families leaned in to help in whatever was needed. Our kids swam fast and had fun. Your work to make this a memorable meet for the visiting teams as well did not go un-noticed. Teams were asking on-deck about the dates of the meet next year, and how they would up their game. The Rochester head coach said his kids swam faster this weekend than last weekend...

Mantas Families, I am thankful for another successful weekend of racing. Mantas swimmers marked training progress in events they were familiar with, and we had quite a few swimmers trying new events as well. Now is a good time to be racing. In two weeks, we host the 10th Anniversary Red, White, & Blue Invite at Tourtellotte Pool. That meet usually sets up our fastest times of the summer going into our championship season in July. If your swimmers are newly registered for our summer program, tomorrow (MONDAY) is the...

Mantas Families, Our swimmers had a great weekend kicking off our long-course season of racing. We use this past weekend as our first benchmark for improvements in our summer season. Our next competition comes in two weeks. In these next 3 weeks our Senior 1 & 2 swimmers will get some good training and come away in great shape. Think of the next couple weeks as a training camp to set up the rest of the summer. Our senior swimmers are so busy and involved in so much at this...

Mantas Families, Our swimmers who raced in the SHRK IM TOUGH event this past weekend did a great job! We had 3 individual swimmers who won their age group for placing in all 4 strokes!
