They were constantly saying,  Gee Dad, this really hurts--we don't know if we're doing this right.' They were hesitant and a little afraid of the unknown." As a parent with little weight training experience of his own, Bob said he shared his daughters' concern about injury at first. However, once they got over the initial soreness from the weight workouts, and with lots of encouragement from Neil, Bob recalls his daughters began to get "really excited" about the new training and their newfound strength gains.<br>The addition of weight training to the program produced other changes in attitude that came as a pleasant surprise to the coaches and athletes alike.<br>"Coaching girls can be a lot different than boys," says Mark. "The guys, you can pretty much get on them, and they'll respond. With the girls, there are a lot more things to consider. If you're not careful about what you say, they could take it the wrong way and they'll have a pretty bad attitude." <br>Dale agrees. "I would echo that part of it. I've coached high school girls and boys for about 20 years, and there is no denying the fact that the girls are more emotional. It's tough, and coaches are in an adversarial role to begin with because you're trying to get these kids to do things they've never done before. But when you get through to them, it's all worth it. With this last group of girls it was a joy coaching them because they were there and they were working hard--sometimes, and in some aspects, even harder than the guys."<br>"The biggest thing I told them is that there is one word that you never use in a sport: Can't. I think I got through to a lot of them with that," says Neil, "especially during the early days with their weight training. When they were struggling, they never said,  I can't do it, Coach.' Instead, they said,  I'll try harder the next time.' I think that attitude in the weight room came across in the pool as well."<br><br>Making Waves with Muscles<br><br>The basic philosophy in swimming is to work very hard, then taper off for the meets. As such, it's often difficult to see results during the training eason, and patience becomes a virtue much sought after. However, Mark says he noticed many positive changes during their training after they overcame their initial soreness. The swimmers were coming off the blocks more explosively. More importantly, they were riding higher on the water. "The higher you can ride on the water, the faster you can go because you're not pushing a lot of resistance--you're a tugboat down below and a speedboat above."<br>The changes weren't all in tCp}hat is an understatement. Last year as a junior Rob was an All-Big12 first team center. This yig! A swimmer who knocks off a second is like a weightlifter adding another 50 pounds to his or her bench!<br>As for team results, this year SWAT had more athletes than ever qualify for the Junior National Championships. They also hope to win the Division 2 High School State Championships this year, a competition in which they placed fourth last year. This would be an especially impressive accomplishment since this competition pits 45 schools against each other. Also, in J
