MANTA CONTINUES TO STRIVE AT WESTERN CANADA GAMES

General Manager

This summer presented an excellent opportunity for some of our young athletes and staff to experience a games environment. The swimming portion of the Western Canada Summer games took place from August 10-13 in Swift Current Saskatchewan. All of the Manta athletes swam with lots of heart and many put forward some excellent end of year results gathering a total of 11 medals for the weekend. To top off the weekend all of the Manta swimmers in attendance swam the open water event and put up some fantastic results.

Manta has been developing a culture that demonstrates a commitment of hard work, creating well-roundness, always questioning the status quo in training sessions and being a great teammate in and out of the pool.
