Mantas Swim Club Weekly Update

Alex Lindstrom
Mantas Families,
We had a great first week of practice.  It seemed too short in New Prague with two home swim meets, so I’m glad this week will be full. 
 
The Fall 2025 Mantas Apparel Store is now open.  The store will remain open through October 5. Orders will be delivered by the coaches at practices.  
 
Meet Registrations Currently Open
 
October 26                     SEMS Sharktober Invite. This is a one-day meet for swimmers of all abilities held at the University of MN.  The registration deadline is in one week… Monday, September 29.  
 
November 1-2                High Point Championships in Northfield.  This is a fun meet with a great racing atmosphere. Top seeded heats are highlighted by flashing lights and walk-out music. Swimmers who compete in all strokes throughout the weekend to accumulate points.  High Point winners are awarded Championship Belt prizes.  Mantas swimmers won multiple age groups in this meet last year.  The registration deadline is Sunday, October 12.

A quick reminder about our practice calendar vs our weekly updates.  The weekly update email ALWAYS takes precedence over the general practice calendar.  Sometimes changes take place and those are announced in the weekly email.
