On the cover

Getting a swimming team off the ground from square one is not an easy, or an always clear, task. It is crucial to make the right moves along the way in order to ensure a well organized, produetive program. Don Gambril should know as much about the process as anyone and he gives a step-by-step layout, beginning on page 9, of how to succeed along the sometimes tricky course.
