I felt like this group was capable of doing well. They're in the pool at 5 a.m. and they (usually) put in 10 or 11 workouts a week. When you work with a group of kids like these, you see how hard they work and how much they want it.

We were one of the smallest teams there but we had a good meet. Some teams carry 40 or 50 swimmers. Our program is not that big. Of the teams in the top 20, we had the least number of swimmers competing.
