ITALION —— ’
A&M swimming team to tour Brazil during the holiday',
X'rrsr.ss Sm.™ sSS-SS
By MICHAEL RICE
Battalion Sports Writer
When Coach Dennis Fosdick
came to A&M to replace swim
ming coach Pat Patterson in the
fall of 1970 the word “Brazil”
suddenly became a frequently
used password by Fosdick and
his swimmers.
Although the swimming Aggies
didn’t get to go to Brazil last
year because of a lack of avail
able funds, the trip is definitely
on for the Christmas holidays
with Fosdick and ten swimmers
going to Sao Paulo to represent
A&M.
Fosdick has been to Brazil a
few months before he came to
coach at A&M and found the peo
ple there as friendly as could be.
The swimming clinic he did there
for the Brazilians was a tremend
ous success, and when it was
time for him to leave they in
vited him back on the condition
he would bring more Americans
with him, namely swimmers.
“The people down there are
just super-friendly,” Fosdick ex
plained. “They want to know
more about swimming and get to
meet more Americans to find out
what they are really like. Sao
Paulo, the city we’ll be mainly
around for the two weeks we are
there, is the third largest city
between North and South Ameri
ca combined. I’m sure the boys
will have a lot of fun while we’re
there.”
But the trip won’t be all fun
and no work for those involved.
The Aggie swimmers will be
working out in various club towns
around Sao Paulo. Santos, a
beach town, will probably be the
Ag’s first place to work out, with
the cities of Mogi das Cruzes, Rio
de Janeiro also on the list.
Training twice a day is on tap
for the swimmers with meets
scheduled around the workouts.
Some international caliber swim
mers will be competing against
the Aggies in both swimming and
water polo. There is also the
possibility the Ags may meet up
with a visiting team from Ger
many, which will be traveling in
the area at the time.
“I don’t know our full itinerary
yet,” said Fosdick, “because the
Brazilian mail service is some
times very slow; losing mail is
very common to them.
“But conditioning and expert
ence will be what we are mainly
after,” he continued. “The trip
will also provide an educational
experience for the boys through
the exchange of cultural ideas,
particularly giving them a good
look at Christmas in another
country.”
While the Aggies are busy
working out, Fosdick will be lec
turing to interested Brazilian
swimmers and coaches about
swimming. He’ll mainly be ad
dressing the Sao Paulo Swimming
Federation and Santos’ Univer
sity of Physical Education and
several other universities.
Just how did the Aggieg ^
age to raise enough money f,
the trip south?
“The whole swim team earn
the trip for these few by cleas
ing Kyle Field after all the f O0 t
ball games played in it,” la j
Fosdick. Each swimmer put j
an average of six hours hi
work after the varsity gam,
and eight hours after the Ten
game to help come up withtl
$6,000 dollars needed for
trip.
