Pat Mankin

Member Spotlight

Current age group: 70-74
Team: MAC. I was so lucky to meet Jacqueline Thorpe at a meet. She introduced me to the MAC coaches Kris, Lyndsey, Jim, Diane and Janette as well as the wonderful swimmers on the team. So much has changed since I last competed and they have all been so kind and helpful and supportive, especially Jacqueline. I am so happy to be a member of the MAC team!
Started competitively: I was 10 years old.
Favorite event: 400 IM
Favorite Masters meet: The 2025 State Meet. I met so many nice people, had a lot of fun, and got to swim relays. I surprised myself with most of my swims too.
Favorite set: Anything IM. I also like a distance free challenge.
Working on improving: Starts, turns, kick, body position. Just about everything!
Big goals: When I was a kid Top 5 (then it became Top 10) times were cool. They still are!
Favorite Olympian: There are so many but Shirley Babashoff stands out. She was a fierce competitor during the 1972 & 1976 Olympics against the East Germans who were guilty of doping.
Outside the pool: I enjoy playing golf and pickleball. But my favorite thing is to hang out with my rescue dogs and do my best to spoil them!
