Not only did they dominate high school swimming, but unlike today, they also produced many of the swimmers from that era who competed in the Olympics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of the entire U.S. swim team assembled for the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, 13 of them had trained in one pool\u2014at Santa Clara High School in northern California under Coach George Haines.<br \/>\nAmong Haines\u2019 swimmers at the 1964 Olympics, Don Schollander was the star of the Games, winning gold medals in the 100 and 400 free along with two free relays, and Dick Roth and Donna de Varona earned the inaugural Olympic gold medals in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 400 IM.<\/p>\n<p>By today\u2019s norms in swimming, a club team of high school-aged swimmers packing an Olympic team would be stunning, but in the 1960s, no college scholarships existed for female swimmers, and there were no professional opportunities beyond college for men. Therefore, the patience and steady development that today\u2019s coaches practice for their young swimmers would have been worthless. Teenage swimmers had to take advantage of their brief window to excel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GEORGE HAINES: \u201cGREAT COACH, TEACHER AND PERSON\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd to give themselves the best chance at excelling, they turned to Haines, who coached a then-small Santa Clara Swim Club and the Santa Clara High School team. Haines also worked as a high school P.E. instructor, and he had previously also coached the high school lightweight football team.<\/p>\n<p>Schollander moved from his home in Oregon to live with a family in Santa Clara so he could swim for Haines. While living apart from his family, Haines became a father figure for Schollander. On weekends, Schollander would accompany Haines to coaches\u2019 clinics as a demonstrator, and the two bonded during that time. On deck, Haines would quickly adapt and react to fit the needs of his swimmers on a daily basis, and he would vary his workouts to keep his swimmers mentally fresh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of coaches just write the workout on the blackboard and then just sit there. He was very, very involved, not only motivating us, but he was always correcting in our stroke technique. I had a tendency to drop my left elbow on freestyle. He would just look at me and touch his elbow,\u201d Schollander said. \u201cJust a great, great coach and a great teacher, great person. That\u2019s what he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>MISSION VIEJO: FOLLOWING IN SANTA CLARA\u2019S FOOTSTEPS<\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1972, Mark Schubert first moved from Ohio to California as head coach of the Mission Viejo Nadadores. For years, he had read about Haines and his high school and club teams at Santa Clara, and he aspired to put together a similarly successful program. And indeed, Mission Viejo became the high school swimming mecca of the 1970s and 1980s, just like Santa Clara a decade earlier.<br \/>\nWhen Swimming World began naming national high school teams of the year in 1971, Santa Clara won four of the first five (boys\u2019 titles), and then, the Mission Viejo girls and boys each won a whopping ten public school titles each between 1977 and 1987.<\/p>\n<p>A year after beginning his tenure with the Nadadores, Schubert started coaching the high school team as well, and Mission Viejo took second at the CIF (California Southern Section) Championships behind the efforts of a freshman named Brian Goodell. The following year, Mission Viejo won the first CIF title in the school\u2019s history. At that meet, Schubert said, \u201cBrian Goodell and Tim Shaw raced head-to-head in the 500, and they were both under the current American record. This wasn\u2019t NCAAs. This was CIF high school kids. Of course, both of those kids ended up making the Olympic team two years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After that, the CIF passed a rule where a coach could not work with his high school athletes out of season, so he had to choose between his club and high school coaching jobs. Although the Mission Viejo High School principal offered him a teaching job so he could continue coaching for the school, Schubert picked club. He recommended a coach named Mike Pelton to take over the high school team, and his stronger swimmers continued to train with the club team during the high school season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To more about the history of Santa Clara and Mission Viejo,<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Check out the full article in September&#8217;s issue, available now!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"445379\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-magazine-september-2020-issue-matt-grevers-still-chasing-excellence\/sw-september-2020-cover-matt-grevers-age-is-just-a-number\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SW-September-2020-Cover-Matt-Grevers-Age-is-Just-a-Number-.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SW September 2020 Cover &#8211;
