IVTEIVSITV lthough the school has had a large, ultra- modern natatorium since I978, the swimming program con- tinued to have a serious pro- blem - small, undermanned teams. Even though swimmers could set records and earn awards in their own individual events, a team victory required the combination of points from all of the events. A lack of par- ticipants reduced the chance of victory considerably. Only an intense individual desire to compete and to succeed made the season bearable. The girls went winless in 28 Swimming their I6 meets. There were received both the MVP and the Members of the victorious relay many times when they wanted to quit and give up, and some did.

The team started the year with a promising number of swimmers. Injuries, loss of interest, and grade pro- blems reduced the team to six boys by season's end. Victories were scarce against intense competition, but, the boys managed to duplicate the girls' feat of winning first place in the consolation round of the Relay event at the Sectional tourney.

Margaret Sweeney, coach of both teams, said, We really need more swimmers, but l have been very pleased with our spirit and the improvement that both teams have made in their times.
