Brooke Higgs is going to be a really strong contributor, ... Brooke has done basically anything I've asked her to, and this summer she swam for the Aggie Swim Club as well.

There are a lot of people here in (El Dorado County) who can afford to do that.

Christin Campbell is another person to watch. This summer, she swam very, very well. Last year in the regional meet she swam the 200 and 500, and in the 200, in the first 100 she was right at a minute, and some people in the regional meet don't do that in the 100, so I think she's going to do really well.

I see her doing really well in the backstroke again, ... She's been very smooth in the water since we started practice and she just looks good.

I'm really pleased with the younger swimmers who have come out because they are working really hard and in about two or three months they will be able to contribute to the team in some way. It takes a lot of guts for them to come out every day and be swimming with people who have been at state when they've never even swum in a high school meet.

She'll probably have to swim about a 1:12, ... Her best last year was 1:17, but she swam for the Aggie Swim Club this March through July and I think that's going to make a very big difference in what she accomplishes this year. You can already see the difference in her in the water. She's already in pretty good shape and she got some pretty good instruction over the summer.
