Bathing in Success warm towel, dry clothes and a breath of fresh air. All of these items refreshed the members of the '84-'85 swim team after a hard workout. Llnder the coaching instruc- tions of Coach Jim Nelson, the team worked before school and during first period every day. The girls' team excelled in and mastered each event they par- ticipated in.

Running into bad weather conditions at the start of tryouts, the determined boys' team practiced in such odd areas as in the boys' gym and under the agricultural barn. Rebuilding the very young and tough team was a high priority on Coach Herb Allen's list of goals, commenting, The period of past teams is over, and we must try to repeat the same type of training for this year's team to excel in 1985. Hoping to develop a strong group of individuals mentally as well as physically, Allen looks forward to a rewarding year.
