Mantas Swim Club Spring Session Starts on April 14

Mantas Families,

With about 10 days until the start of our 2025 spring – summer long course season, I’ll direct your attention to the answers of a couple of questions I’ve received.  

Monday, April 14 is our first night of training and is our Trial Night for all new families.  If you know of families that are thinking of joining Mantas Swim Club, invite them to our Trial Night.  

After the trial night all swimmers in the water need to be registered through our online system.  You can find our team registration right here.

Mantas Swim Club Two-Week Trial.  Our two-week trial is designed for families who are new to competitive swimming and Mantas Swim Club. Once registered, swimmers will practice with the team for two weeks. At that time, if we find that we are not a good fit, then all registration funds will be refunded.  

ALL swimmers with Mantas Swim Club need to be registered with USA Swimming. Our registration includes a $50 fee for registering as a USA athlete for families who didn’t swim with Mantas during the winter season.  If your swimmers did participate in this past winter season with Mantas, you’re already covered, and you don’t need to pay.  

Competition is not required to be a part of Mantas Swim Club. We hope to coach and encourage each swimmer to give it a try.  Our full season of competitions can be found on our team website by clicking on the TEAM EVENTS tab.  

Likewise, our practice schedule can be viewed based on location, and roster by clicking on the CALENDAR tab and selecting “practices”. For our Mankato location, the June and July months will be completed once we determine when we’ll switch locations.  As a rule, the practice calendar is used a guide. A weekly update emailed out at the beginning of each week will list all updates to the training schedule that week. 

Finally, for our Senior 2 swimmers we offer the opportunity to train multiple practices per day once school gets out.  Our “double” training session workouts are not a replacement of the morning workouts (in Mankato), but an added benefit. 

Let me know what questions you have.  I’m excited to get this season started in a few days. Spread the word.  See you on Monday, April 14.
