Show Swimmers set for optimistic year ahead if ' 7 ; . :;ff ; :5:';:?'s ; ; F-; MF:Mi Cedar High School swimmers are getting cranked-up for a good year of competition and coach Dick Coston is optimistic about his program. "I'm really exciled," says Coston, eyeing swimming prospects for the upcoming season. "As a coach I'm very optimistic about the season because we've added 30 swimmers and I'm looking for more. We've got a lot of talented ninth graders." Coston is counting heavily on younger swimmers to bolster a growing local program. There will be eleven boys and four girls returning from last year's squad and Coston has high hopes for his younger swimmers. The Cedar coach is looking to build a stronger program by adding more swimmers and thus, more depth. "I can carry as many as 100 people on the team so the opportunity for interested swimmers to participate still exists," says Coston. Swimmers on the CHS team can participate free with the exception of purchasing suits. The first day of practice will be October 29 at the Cedar City municipal pool, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Interested swimmers swim-mers can contact Coston at the pool from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. or by calling 586-7481. 586-7481.
