T- Stiff 1 The team uses encouragement dragging season The individual sport that may call for the most tenacious of athletes is swimming. The swim team held its first official workout on September 12, and their season continued until mid-April. The average practice lasted two hours. These two hours consisted of both long-distance swims and sprint work. The en- tire team was made up of only twenty swimmers - twelve girls and eight boys. The team may have been small in number, but it was by no means small in heart. The team had spirit which kept them together. They were cheerleaders for each other at meets. They helped each other warm up before events and built confidence. This may be one factor in the success of the girls' team, but even could not make the boys' team rise to the top. The tough season for the boys was partially due to the fact that the team was lacking in numbers. Much of the team's hard work through many long practice never be known because of the small turnout for swimming, but the people that really count aware. Looking back, the members may not remember the statistics, but they will remember each other. The swim team is looking forward to a bigger and better SCZSOH. Even the most serious of athletes needs time to relax, and the swim team does just that before continuing with more hard heart S will Were work.
