Minnesota Athletes: Learn about the state’s swimming history and more

We love the history of swimming here at the Vibe. What we love even more is when a skilled writer and historian has done a lot of the work already and we just share it!

Patrick Mader does just that with his website Minnesota Athletes!

There is a lot of rich history in the state across all sports, which he covers, but we were particularly impressed with the love swimming has received in some of his articles. From Gopher Greats, to Olympic performers, Patrick goes deep into the subjects.

Patrick’s most recent article Minnesota Swimming Sensation Regan Smith Stars in Paris; Brief History of Minnesota Swimmers at the Olympics does a wonderful job of highlighting some Olympians that have their roots right here in Minnesota.

We will definitely share new articles from Minnesota Athletes that relate to swimming and diving as they are published, but if you have a nugget of Minnesota Swimming history you think would be of interest for Patrick to write about, pass it on and we will get you connected.
