The way we do that is by developing character. And sport does that.” Whether it’s swimming, gym- nastics, figure skating — or any other discipline — the athlete develops punctuality, en- durance and perseverance, he says. “If they mever get to the Olympics — or the regional meets for that matter — they will know what it is to strive and endure. And they will be better for it.” And when there is a triumph, everyone shares in it. “A lot of people perceive it’s one or two individuals that do it, but that’s not the truth,’” he says. ‘“When that person from the Terrace Bluebacks stands up on that winners’ podium, that success is a product of everyone involved in the Terrace “Hivebacks. It’s.a group effort.”” . ~And- who vare “the “local: pioneers, who ‘personify the work of the entire club?

And it does.’” Nash wants to see some im- proved morale — on the team and among the parents. And he has plans for better liaisons with the city and aquatic centre. But above all, he wants to see more swimmers: raised to 4 higher level of competition.- ~~ “His own credentials on the ~ competition side are impressive, He was a national team member from 1965 to 1972, when he Alison _McNeil: says she’s gunning for big things with the Clan this year, It's the last year on.the team. for Hendry and several co-players.; 9. “For a-lot ofthese kids it’s their last chance,” she said. ‘‘Michelle is’ totally focussed on what we're doing.here this took their division and - were eliminated in the second-round of the national championship.
