Open Water Motivates Swimmers The AHS swim team will rise to the occ assion and surpass expectations, reported senior Tim Lovell In years to come, if swimming were given sup- port, Arlington could become a pow- erhouse, but for now we have to settle for a small and unknown position, but don ' t count us out because we repre- sent AHS and we have spirit, contin- ued Tim. The fifteen members, consist- ed of five seniors, three juniors, and seven sophomores, were coached by Pat Tope. Tope was also known as Zambini Man by his swimmers be- cause of his wild hairstyle. 1 The team ' s goal was to compete and perform to the best of their ability and to be as successful as possible The team went about accomplishing these goals with workouts from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM on school days when there was no meet. During these work- outs, they not only swam anywhere from 2000 to 6000 yards, but they also practiced starts, turns, strokes, and breathing patterns, additionally, they lifted weights. Chris Soholt said it best when he pronounced, We are well- disciplined and all have positive atti- tudes towards our success. £ Intent on winning.

Aquatics Team uid i Through the Ripples Comprised of fourteen new swim- mers and fourteen returning team members, the girls ' swimming team had the largest participation in Arling- ton ' s history. With so many new mem- bers, Coach Bill Grisham set an early goal. I want to develop team unity, team spirit, and individual pride. The team has excellent motivation to ex- cel and the girls are willing to do the work to improve themselves. Motivation is what it took to get the swimmers into the water and practice i Underwater practice won ' t catch sophomore Tammy Keathley off guard up to eight times a week for one hour and forty-five minute workouts. On top of all of the practices, they had the pressure of meets to deal with too. This is where the team spirit came in. Karen Almy, junior, stated, At the beginning of a meet I got really nervous so that I ' d feel sick; but once I got started, the team was behind me and I felt more relaxed. Team captain Lori Bradshaw added, I try to be on top and do my best in each meet. Girls ' Swimming 93
