Gwen Knapp, another freshman, will lead what is left of the breaststrokers. The backstrokers are even more of a question mark with newcomer Caroline Marnock, recruited to reinforce their depleted ranks, unsure of whether she wants to swim this year...

Reagan's strategists hope that the blitz will lead to early victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Florida, thus locking up the nomination before spring.
