Hard to believe that summer swim team is over - but it was a great year
for the ManorGate Marlins! Our team of over 165 swimmers from ManorGate
and the surrounding communities did a fabulous job at the meets, ending
with a 2-3 season that saw two of the meets decided by just one or two
relays.
We are particularly proud of the 8&U Girls and the 11-12 Girls, who
earned the first place trophies in their age group for the Blue Division!
Our swimmers strive to better themselves and earned 798 personal bests
throughout the meets - wow! We reward the swimmers with a special
program called Green is Gold, where each 'green' personal best ribbon
earns them a 'gold' ticket in the end of the season lottery. It's a
great way for swimmers to strive for better times and earn a little
extra reward.
We have some swimmers we would like to recognize for their special achievements. Congratulations to the following Marlins who went to the All-Star meet in August. Those who finished in the top six are noted.
