About MTSC
Mei’s Typhoons Swim Club (MTSC) is a year-round USA-affiliated swim team that strives for excellence in competitive swimming. MTSC offers a complete swim program designed to develop swimmers of all ages and abilities from the novice to the elite senior level. The senior athletes lead the program by example and provide inspiration to all teammates. MTSC encourages a healthy relationship between parent, athlete and coach. There is a sense of partnership between the parents and the individual swimmers on our team. We foster a communal atmosphere that provides children with an enjoyable educational experience, and more importantly, prepares them for success in all of life’s endeavors.

MTSC practices at Springfield College. The team is dedicated to fostering a positive atmosphere supported by dedicated parents.

 

Our Vision Statement
Through the camaraderie, successes and failures, and lessons that a swimming team provides, MTSC strives to make swimmers more well-rounded and passionate people in and out of the pool. The perseverance and friendships that swimmers gain through the sport will hopefully foster a world where people support one another like a team and work towards their goals in life.
