That's funny. I swam for George Haines from 1950 into 1958 (my sr. year in hs). I spent three and a tad years swimming for my hs swimming team, then I discovered girls... and got kicked off swim team for dreaming up excuses not to swim any more :-)
California was like that - you could not graduate from HS without passing the state's swimming test, so there were pools for most school districts...and lakes filled with the stuff...
some time in the middle part of the last century I was mildly interested in feetsball because I was a feetsball player....peer pressure don't ya know?
Then I discovered gurls...
Never looked back...never even WATCHED a game since then.

Enough water to swim in....imagine that.
Kinda rare when I was a kid...
