ABOUT MANCHESTER FARM SWIM TEAM

Manchester Farm Swim Team (MFST) is entering its 27th year and its 22nd season as a participant in the Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL). This year, the MFST Dolphins will compete in the "E" Division. The team offers parents and swimmers a fun, structured activity during June and July. Manchester Farm swimmers enjoy one of the largest privately-owned pools in Montgomery County.

Our goal is to provide every member with an understanding of the relationship between hard work and success, both in and out of the pool. Professional coaches and technique instruction provide an opportunity for swimmers of all ages and abilities to improve their skills.
