Burnaby Mountain Mantas are part of the BC Summer Swimming Association (BCSSA).  The BCSSA has over 60 clubs throughout the province.  Our club is part of the Simon Fraser Region, which means we compete against teams from Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, and Coquitlam. 

Burnaby Mountain Mantas is a non-profit summer swim club that is always striving to improve – our members, our coaches, and our community. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and encouraging competitive environment, allowing swimmers to achieve their goals through tailored development and quality coaching. We have become a consistent top 5 summer swim club in BC and the best swim club in our region. A big reason for our success is due to the devotion of our swimmers, their parents, and all our volunteers who routinely devote more than what is mandatory at our club events and swim meets.  Our swimmers rank among the top summer swimmers in BC.  

Our competitive swimming season runs from May 1 to the middle of August.  During the competitive season, swimmers train every weekday, and compete on most weekends.  (Note: while competitions are not mandatory, they are highly encouraged).  

In the winter season (October – April), we run a winter maintenance program, which is a maximum of 2 hours/week of swim training. 

Programs

Our competitive group swimmers range from the very young to age 18.  The requirement to join our main competitive group is to be able to swim a minimum of 50 meters unassisted for swimmers under 12 years old, and minimum of 100 meters for swimmers aged 12 and up.  New swimmers will be assessed to determine their swimming ability, and placed into a group of swimmers of similar speed and ability.

Our Mini Mantas Group is for our very young swimmers who can only swim about 25 meters unassisted.  The Mini Mantas swim 3 times a week for the months of June and July.  The Mini Mantas program is great for those young kids that love swimming but are just a bit too young to join the competitive team.  Minimum requirement to join the Mini Mantas is to be able to comfortably place face underwater, and to be able to listen to directions.
