If any- one is inTeresTed, swimming is The sporT To geT inTo. The more Team members we can gaTher will help build a beTTer and sTronger Team. We could produce more wins and have more TalenT To develop. Mrs. SmiTh said, lT's very hard To sTarT coaching a Team wiThouT knowing whaT To expecT. We had some problems, buT in The end They all worked ouT. varsiTy swimming f 147
