Boys' swimming turned out to be

one of IMSA's most successful sports

this year. The swimmers, coached by

another experienced swimmer, Eric

McLaren, were able to work efficient–

ly toward improving techniques,

strength, and most impo r t an t l y,

times. At the junior varsity level, the

swimmers compiled a 6-2 record,

with the only losses coming to Benet

Academy and Lake Park, two of the

area's strongest teams.

At the end of the year, six swim–

mers and one diver advanced to the

sectional meet. Although none qual–

ified for the state meet, these team

members earned respect from the

older, more experienced teams at the

sectional.

Next year, McLaren expects twice

the number of this year's team to

compete on varsity and junior varsity

teams. With this season behind them,

the boys' swimming team has much

to look forward to in future years.

This year's girls' swimming team,

although the season record may not

imply it, was successful in the respect

that the swimmers were able to im–

prove individually and as a team with

each passing meet. Coach McLaren

led the team through techniques to

improve each swimmer's abilities.

This year's team was comprised of

both experienced and inexperienced

swimmers. Thus, practices were fo–

cused on improving general weak

spots of the whole team. Next year

should prove to be a season in which

IMSA will be a tough competitor in

girls' swimming.
