Jack was a significant mentor to me in my younger years while he was my coach at Manta Swim Club. I ended up swimming with Manta for many years and coaching later, and throughout the years looked up to Jack for his guidance. He always knew the right thing to say. He taught me a great deal about hard work, dedication, and always giving your best despite the circumstances. His influence carries with me to this day in my career. I thought about Jack frequently over the years and am sorry to read about his passing in January. - Posted by: Jacqueline R (Manta Swimmer) on: Aug 11, 2026

Very sad to hear of Jack's passing. Jack lived in Southdale as I did .For years Jack would pick me up at my house at 6am every swimming practice day, drive me to the pool and back home after practice out of the goodness of his heart. Without Jack I wouldn't have been able to swim competitively. Speed swimming had a huge impact on my life and at age 70 I still swim 5 days a week. I think of Jack often, such a lovely caring man, Jack dedicated much of his life to coaching speed swimming. As a role model and as a coach he contributed immensely to the development of many young athletes both on a personal level and as young athletes . Jack Baturin was a gentleman and a wonderful human being and will be truly missed and fondly remembered. - Posted by: John Breadner (Friend/St.Vital Dolfin swimmer) on: Feb 17, 2026

So sorry to hear of Coach Jack's passing. He was me and my brother's coach with the St. Vital Dolphins way back in the early 70's.RIP Jack. - Posted by: Douglas Stevens (Coach) on: Jan 27, 2026

My wife and I share your sadness. We spent many years together coaching poolside and, at times, enjoying his company over steak dinners. A great conversation would always lead to Christian fellowship. He will long be respected and remembered by those whom he coached and fellow colleagues. It was a blessing having known Coach Jack. - Posted by: Norm Carriere (Friend and colleague) on: Jan 10, 2026
