Today, Swim-Natation Manitoba announced its team that will compete at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games Aug 10-14 in Kamloops.

Swim Manitoba Executive Director, Darin Muma, said in a statement today, “This team is a great mix of confident experience and youthful exuberance. We have a number of medal possibilities from both the Para and able-bodied swimmers and our Special Olympics swimmers though young will prove to be very tough competitors. It is Swim Manitoba’s pleasure, to once again, partner with Special Olympics Manitoba to be able to offer high level competitive opportunities for our intellectually disabled athletes. I am looking forward to watching the team results.”
