FMSC History:
|
|
|
|
|
The Fort McMurray Swim Club was formed in 1971 and operates under the rules and regulations of the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association (CASA). Its sole purpose is to aid, support and advance competitive swimming for children showing a desire and ability in the sport.
|
|
|
The Club is maintained through an organization known as the Fort McMurray Swim Club composed of parents acting as officials and officers on a voluntary basis. It is a non-profit organization and relies solely on the support and efforts of parent members to maintain its operation.
|
|
|
The FMSC was incorporated, under the Alberta Societies Act on November 15, 1979 (Registration #50225697). Club bylaws were revised in 1990, 1993, 2003, 2005 and, most recently in 2007. The Club is structured to promote and foster successful swimming and the competitive desire to advance in the sport.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
To be a Manta requires a high level of motivation and perseverance, involving, in the advanced age categories, between 15 and 20 hours of rigorous physical training weekly. This past season saw the Mantas experience continued success in the pool, qualifying even more swimmers for provincial and national level competitions. |
|
|
We also had our membership numbers climb to new heights making us one of the five largest swim clubs in Alberta with a total of 250 swimmers. All this is due to the high and positive community profile we are able to maintain and the exposure we gain at competitions outside Fort McMurray, all of which would not be possible without community support.
