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.

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. |
