In a season where we could and should have won every meet we entered we finished with the shelves bare and nothing to show for all our efforts - what went wrong is a question that was fre- quently heard in those last days of the winter term. The answers, as so often in cir- cumstances such as this, is not sim- ple, but a combination of factors. Illness and injury had dogged key members of the team for much of the season and sheer determination may have pushed one or two others too hard in the final week or two. Technical errors resulted in costly disqualifications and per- haps our strength was not deploy- ed as widely as it might have been. However, in the end it was the ex- cellent competition that we en- countered in this season that re- moved us from No. 1 place in both Oakville and ISAA competition. Dave Green is to be congratulat- ed on his first ISAA Diving Championship. Dave Burke and Jamie Mathieson were again out- standing and set new ISAA marks in the 100 yds. Breaststroke and 200 yds. Freestyle respectively. Steve Rockett, Don Johnson, Tom Hughes and Jamie Mathieson pushed the 200 yds. Freestyle Re- lay mark to 1.35.7, our third con- secutive new record in this event. Next season again holds tremen- dous promise to which will be add- ed the challenge of coming from behind for the first time in three years. See you next November.

First As the season of 78 79 progress- ed, it became dear that the compe- tition, primarily in the form of Ridley College, was going to be formidable. This fact provided a stimulus to all our activities and generated a driving spirit which has remained dormant in the years following 1976 - our first championship suc- cess. I can honestly say that this has been our best season of training due entirely to the enthusiasm and determination of every single mem- ber of the club. Every Ipoy com- pleted at least 75,000 yards in training, and the finals team swam in excess of 90,000 yards. -

All seven are strong swimmers and two, Chris Chapman and Andrew Crawford-Brown, eventually made the finals team. Duncan Ross is the best long distance freestyle prospect to arrive for several years, and Chris King is a fine all-rounder. Sean Baines led the team through a most successful season. Seven wins and two defeats gave him much satisfaction as an end to his long career in swimming at Appleby - well done and thank you, Sean. This is the strongest second team we have had in several years and it will certainly ensure that we remain competitive in the sport for some time.
