Swimming Team Has Watered Down Year As they stepped up to the block, the swimmers looked at their competition. Their stomach, arms and leg muscles were tense as they thought, I'm in trouble now, let me make it through this alive. The announcer told the swimmers take your mark,'i and as they bent over to grab the block, they thought about breaking their times. The gun fired and the swimmers sprung into action. Some aspects of swimming which are often overlooked are its com- petitiveness and the natural high of winning a race. Swimming is also one of the best ex- ercises because it works all of the muscles in the body including the heart and lungs. Even though the water was cooling to the swimmers, it was still possible to get hot during the workout. Swimmers perspire even though they are not aware that they are. Swimmers easily dehydrate and have to drink a lot of li- quid during practice. To have fun was the intention of the upperclass swimmers. The occasional splashing of water in peoples faces, talking too others and picking on freshmen was part of every practice. After the season was over, they realized that they had accomplished a great deal. They not only had a wonderful time but with their hard work, they were able to win races.
