Mantas Swim Club Weekly Update

Mantas Families,

Mantas swimmers sprinted their way to hardware this weekend at the Northfield Swim Club Championship Belt Spectacular!  What an awesome atmosphere for our young swimmers to be celebrated with walk-up songs, lights, and high point winners taking home BIG awards.  All our swimmers did a great job!  See the pics to see who took home the hardware as high point winners for their age-group.  

MEET VOLUNTEERS!  We need the help of every family to make our upcoming Minnesota Regional Championships meet, MARCH 7-9, a success. We are hosting this meet at the FAC in New Prague.  Families need to log into our team site and select sessions and jobs they can work.  We have LOTS of available slots that ALL need filling. Thank you for signing up to help make our MRC’s meet a success for our swimmers. 

MANTAS CHAMPIONSHIP CLOTHING ORDER is due this week!  Order your championship season t-shirt for your swimmer who’s participating in any of our end-of-season meets. The team store closes this Thursday. 

Families racing at the Rochester Presidents Day Invite will get information on Wednesday of this week. 

WELCOME Bryce Malecha, a new coach at our New Prague location.  Bryce competed with Gustavus Swimming for 4 years, as a part of my distance crew, a team captain, and lifeguard and swim lessons leader.  Bryce, a Northfield native, is now home and eager to help coach Mantas kids in New Prague.  When you see Bryce, introduce yourself and wish him well as he starts his coaching career.
