Getting out With the coming of the new swimm- ing season, the Viking swim team did just that - they got out of the cold weather and into the warm. The new season, now in the fall, gave the swimmers a chance to practice beginning in August while the weather was still warm. The old season, which took place during the spring, required that the swimmers start practice in late fall. This meant that they had to swim in cold and windy weather, which they not only disliked because it was too cold, according to junior Cathy Fechner, but also caused a lot of sickness among the team members. Senior Kelly Holmes' opinion of the 122 SWIMMING of the cold! new season was, I think it's better because we're training while it's still warm, but it will be cold by the time we get to districts. Leading the swim team was captain Bill Crimmke, with the help of team coaches Mr. Raul Fonseca and Ms. Kimberly Lopez. According to Coach Fonseca, We have a great combination of boy swim- mers, and the girls' team is currently building up. When asked what he thought of the overall team, Coach Fonseca replied, We have several freshmen with tremendous potential. Overall we have a very energetic group of great kids. How's this for diving? Trying to be as graceful as she possibly can, sophomore Meg Hester demonstrates her diving skills with the greatest of ease. Due to a toe injury and a staph infection, she had to quit the swim team on her doctor's re- quest, but she was able to rejoin by the end of the season.

Practice makes perfect and for junior Karen Hoban's sake, this is true. She contributed a great deal to and gained many points for the girls' team, her reward for so much practice. t A- Q.,-an ..
