Mantas Swim Club Weekly Update

Alex Lindstrom

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 time of year. The more practices and training opportunities they can “put in their tool box” in this time, the better off they will be the rest of the way.

We have meet registrations due today! Plan ahead!

Today is the final day to register your swimmer for the Storm Summer Slam, June 7-8, at the University of MN. This long-course meet is open to swimmers of all ages and abilities.

Today is the final day to register for the Aquajet Summer Spectacular, June 26 – 29, and the University of MN. While this meet happens at the end of June. Registration is due early to ensure that our swimmers get a chance to race. I’ll send our entries at 8:00pm this evening. This is a qualifying meet with required standards that need to be met in each event.

Families may also register for the next Rochester Block Party meet, happening on Friday, May 30 at the Rochester Rec Center. Our team goal is to have 20 new swimmers at this meet. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Join in!

AND our very own Red, White, & Blue Invite hosted at Tourtellotte Pool in Mankato, June 20-22. Watch for a notification on when you can sign up for volunteer shifts as well.

THANK YOU to our Mantas Swim Club Boosters in New Prague who will be providing Summer 2025 T-Shirts for all registered swimmers and coaches! If you know swimmers who are waiting to register, this is another reason why they should get started with Mantas now. Get a free T-Shirt!
