BAODfl BUNDAT BULUnUf tnntKr, Aofwl XT, llSf if Swim Club Members Dream of New Outdoor Pool, Generous Sponsor By Carm Papara While the price of everything except fresh air is going up and up these days, it still doesn't cost a red cent to dream. Members of the Racine Swim Club, coached by pretty 20- year-old Kelli Brown, have a couple of dreams that probably won't come true until they're grandmothers. One, they yearn for a 50- meter outdoor pool which would enable them to be hosts for big invitational meets, and secondly, they'd appreciate a aponsor who would help foot th6 food, lodging and travel expenses the swimmers encounter on their way to and from meets In the Midwest. Pool Inadequate The Washington Park pool, avers Miss Brown, former St. Catherine's High student who leaves soon for her senior year at the University of New Mexico, is Inadequate because it does not have enough of a straightaway for most of the fwlm events.

As for a sponsor, there Is always hope that an "uncle" from among Racine's Industrial family will step in and provide a big assist. The local swim club, formed in 1954, has achieved somewhat amazing success considering its lack of facilities. Only a week ago, the Racine girls won their second straight state championship, nosing out a favored Green Bay squad by a point. The victory was achieved even though Racine had no entries in the diving events, which, in effect, provided automatic points to Green Bay. There is no place here to train divers, so the Racine squad must forfeit in that event.

Yoimg Squad Miss Brown entered a squad in the state meet which included one 18-year-old, two in the 15-year bracket, three 13 years old and two i2-year-old lasses and still won from a seasoned Green Bay group I which had five 18-year-old girls on up to a 26-year-old. In short, the Racine club is accomplishing much with little. The girls train at the quarry in the summertime and in the winter they use the YWCA pool, members paying 25c apiece each time they use it. Typical cost to swim for a Racine club member comes to about $250 a year, estimates Mrs. John Brown, who helps keep the club a going concern.

The breakdown is $1.25 a week to use the YWCA pool for five winter months, or about $30. The other $220 Is spent for entry fees, room and meals on trips. Where there are two or three swim members in one family, the outlay runs into big figures. Quits, Too Expensive The Browns cite a case where a truck driver's son, a promising swimmer, had to quit the club because of the cost. 'That shouldn't be," says Mrs.

Brown. "A boy or girl should have the opportunity to develop Into a good swimmer whether or not he or she can afford it." Transportation problem is solved by parents of members, who drive cars to the various meets at their own expense. The group, of course, would prefer traveling by bus, but a shoe-string budget rules out that luxury. Money may be the root of all evil, but the Racine Swim Club could use some of the green stuff, nevertheless. For instance, the RSC had hopes of competing in a recent meet in Austin, but only one car was available and 23 swimmers wanted in.

There must be an ordinance somewhere forbidding a couple of dozen mermaids from jamming into one vehicle so the venture was dropped. With deserved support for such adult activities as bowling, golf and slowpitch, the swimmers can't help but feel like orphans. They win state titles, do well in out-of-state competition, give the city good publicity all without financial help. Set Many Records Miss Brown's team this summer was first in the Chicago- land Open age meet, winning 10 trophies and two medals while smashing some national records. The relay foursome of Lynn Fazen, Sarah Evans, Pat Miner and Sue Young set a mark in the 200-meter medley relay for 9-10 year olds and Kathy Postorino joined Misses Evans, Young and Miner in breaking the 200-yard free style relay.

Racine trailed Green Bay's squad in the Nicolet Invitational for boys and girls, despite three firsts each by Sue Blish, 18, and Judy Janes. Racine continued to break records, setting three in the Granite City Open at St. Cloud, and winning five firsts in all. Sarah Evans, Elsie Dodge and Judy Janes set new in their events. In the Wisconsin State championships at Whitefish Bay, the Racine squad set seven records, scored 12 first place wins and won the team trophy with a smashing 177 points.

Not a bad achievement for a squad that has no home pool or divers. Valuable Experience Mrs. Brown asserts the club teaches members more than just swimming. "The 10-year-olds gain valuable experience on weekends in handling their own money to pay for meals and rooms. And they get into contact with other swimmers from many states to broaden their outlook." Discipline, too, is what the girls learn, she says, for they are requested to go to bed early and keep in training, which, for many of them, means giving up soft drints and candy or turning down party invitations.

"The girls learn things early that will be of help to them all their lives," says Mrs. Brown. Kelll Brown (her real first name is Calli.sta) has been a swim enthusiast for most of her 20 years. She swam for Coach John Galvich at the Kenosha Youth Foundation which has lost some of Its lustre since Galvich went on to a swim coaching job in Indianapolis. Origin of "Kelli" It was Galvich who inadvertently gave Miss Brown the name of "Kelli." "He couldn't pronounce 'Callista' correctly," recalls Miss Brown.

"First he said it as then it finally boiled down to 'Kelli' and that's how it's been ever since." Kelli has coached the team here since the club was formed five years ago and her record suggests she might be the "Bud Wilkinson" of the swimming sport. Not that she'll be overly pleased to be linked with Wilkinson of Oklahoma for the Browns are a staunch Notre Dame family. This stems from the fact that John, the father, won a letter in track back in 1928 under Coach Knute ric. Cheaper In Kenosha The local club enrolls about 25 swimmers in the winter, lack of facilities preventing them from working with more, and in the summer, the number rises to about 35 candidates working out at the quarry. Swim club members compete at a sacrifice, compared to what It costs youngsters in other towns.

While the average cost here Is $250 a season to compete, in Kenosha, swimmers pay the KYF just $6 for winter competition and $3 for the entire summer. But regardless of whether the Racine Swim Club gets some assistance, the organization will continue to make out somehow. The squad has built a name for itself in recent seasons and who ever heard of a coach quitting while in the I midst of a winning streak?
