3 Year Swim Club. Set
on Maui in the late 1930s, this world premiere production
was inspired by the true story of swimming coach Soichi Sakamoto
and his Three Year Swim Club. A group of ordinary high school
students, armed only with willpower, Sakamoto's eccentric training
techniques and the ambitious motto "Olympics First, Olympics
Always" begin their training in plantation irrigation
ditches and end up astonishing themselves and the world.
| The production
will be running for the public every Saturday
at 4:30 through March 6. If you would like more

This
is a great article
about swimming in the Adver
tiser. Skippa Diaz. "It's
a lifelong activity, and it relaxes the body and mind,"
Diaz said. Diaz also said the training and values he learned
as a youth swimmer helped him greatly in football. "It gives
you big-time strength," Diaz said. "It's very demanding,
with practices in the morning and afternoon - a double-whammy.
But it gave me that work ethic, the belief that if you want to
be good in anything, you gotta put in the time."

- The
Story of the butterfly
- A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
- One day a small opening appeared.
- He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it
struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
- Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.....
