Diving Who's Making A Splash? The splash was made by our own diving team, of course. Once again they placed first in CCS, junior varsity as well as var- sity. The two divers that went to CCS were Amy Fowler and Amy Dalziel. Some of the divers on the team also dove at the Santa Clara Swim Club. They were among the small group of I2 people that made the team. Coach Tom Trapp explained l can't work as well as l want to with big teams, and everyone learns more slowly. Amy Dalziel mentioned that when they were competing the team made friends, not ene- mies. Their only complaints were towards other school's bad diving boards and the fashionable new bee bathing suits that they found unappeal- ing. Nonetheless this didn't pre- vent them from placing first.

Ear iniuries were most frequent, but they werent swim- mers' ear as was commonly assumed: a burst eardrum was possible from hitting the water too hard. lt was important to undergo rigorous training to avoid injuries.
