At first, he did not nake the team, but, with the help md persuasion of Coach Pete 'omhes. he arose each day at five .m so that he could work out at he pool at six.

"My tonguie gets fuzzy and my 5 hands clinch," Mike stated, also e explaining his feelings. v One thing that irks Fox and t Fairev is the poor attendance the team receives. "The only attendance we get is 5 parents, close friends, and girl friends." stated Fox. "The maina reason is the poor publicity by the athletic department and The0 Gamecock. Student interest is lacking. too." U "We ne'ed a new pool." Fairey a added. "Sometimes I can't even see the bottom of the pool. It s, stinks." When asked what would improve attendance.
