The Santa Clara Swim Club, alma mater of Olympic Queens Chris von Saltza and Lynn Burke, swam away with four of the world records, won 14 of 30 events, and became the first club ever to win both the men's and women's championships...

Most teen-agers still do the swim and almost everything else to the music of the Beatles, but the three young Go-Go's make a good pitch for swimming to their slow-rolling nautical numbers like Peek-A-Boo Swimsuit and They Call Him Chicken...
