Swimming tends to be one of the overlooked sports in high schools but Olympus Swimming is on the rise. Coach Brad Goffe has been coaching the swim team and teaching Japanese at the Olympus for 17 years. Swimming has one of the longest high school sport seasons stretching from September to February. There is at least one girl ranked in the top 8 in 4A in every event and at least one boy in the top 10 in all but 3 events in 4A.

Famous quotes containing the word swimming:
“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
