...Konradses (and just about every other competitor) can testify to the contrary. The pleasures of sun and sand on Australia's splendid beaches are among the first things that aspiring swimmers learn to forgo. The surf is too tiring; besides, there is no time for such fun. Nor is there time for movies, dances and other teen-age pastimes. All winter, the Konradses spend their spare moments at a wearing routine of bodybuilding exercises. All summer, they swim and swim and swim some more-always in pools, always under the critical eye of young (24) Coach Don Talbot...

...Agriculture and Engineering. They were the kind of pupils a professor prays for-housewives, doctors, lawyers, mechanics. None had a thought of cutting a class; all were anxious for final exams, the chance to check theory with practice in the deep-running Gulf Stream ten miles offshore, in the surf on the white-duned Carolina beaches, or on calm, clear Carolina lakes...
