From the Editor:  MAM has Relocated

Manatee Aquatic Masters, established more than thirty years ago at Holy Names University, has relocated to the Emeryville Center of Community Life on 47th Street .  It was numbing when the University recently closed their pool as finding a facility for 26 hours of practices was no little feat. With a new Head Coach, Rob Heath, and the newly renovated facility on 47th Street, MAM has just the zest they need to go forward  For more information, visit the MAM   website. Better yet, drop in for a workout!
