Mason Manta Rays Swim Team

The City of Mason has a year-round, competitive USA Swim Team. Team members compete at USA-sponsored meets on a local, state, regional, and national basis, depending on ability.

Team members are expected to have some swimming experience. This swim team is not for the novice or beginner swimmer. Tryouts are required for all swimmers wanting to be on the team and priority is given to community residents (CR). Team members must have an annual Community Center pass.

Tryouts for the 2010-2011 season have already been held.

To learn more about year-round swimming or about how you can begin swimming year-round, please contact Ken Heis, Head Swim Team Coach, at 513-229-8555 or visit the swim team's website, www.masonswimming.org.

Mason Water Moccasins Swim Team

The Mason Water Moccasin Swim Team is a recreational swim team that competes in the Tri-County Swim League in June and July and practices at the Lou Eves Municipal Pool. Swimmers participating on the team will improve the four competitive swim strokes, starts and turns, and learn what it's like to work as a member of a team and the importance of sportsmanship. Swimmers will compete with each other and with other swimmers in the league.

Registration information for the next year will be included prior to the start of the season in Funformason, which is mailed inside OurTown magazine or as a separate brochure.

Anyone interested in learning more about this recreational swim team is encouraged to contact Todd Billhimer, Head Age Group Coach, at 513-229-8555, ext. 5516.

Please note: A Lou Eves Municipal Pool pass is required to participate and must be purchased at or before time of swim team registration.
