Memories from the Past...
The season started with a bang --- Dick Thomas dove into the head of the oncoming oblivious Ernie Klevesahl as we practiced relay starts.

Remember our overnight to Stockton? Who scheduled the team breaskfast at the Flower Dragon restaurant?

Do you remember the 6,000 yard Easter week workouts capped off by the first annual "fin swim"?

The trip to the state championships in Bakersfield is a highlight. Remember the Basque restaurant we visited the night before the meet began? We placed 10th but had 38 lifetime best swims out of 48 entries and the time drops were the talk of the meet.

The introduction of a new dive... the Charles Avery's double bounce take off. Who coached that kid?

Dick Thomas's nickname due to his patented whining finishes.

Jim Menconi's goofy eggbeater kick made me a famous backstroke coach for at least one year.
