US Olympic Trials By Dave Hamilton IRVINE, Calif.--United States Swim- ming's week-long Outdoor Nationals hyphen Olympic Trials were analagous to simultaneously holding the World Series in two separate cities, with the teams never facing one another. Or, allowing the Super Bowl to be decided on the basis of season-long statistics fed into a computer. Somehow, despite all the hype by the announcers, all the comparisons on the scoreboard and, most of all, in spite of the good intentions of the meet _ organizers, the Nationals just failed to live up to everyone's heightened expecta- tions. For the most part, though, it seems that the swimmers were the only ones not let down by the results and their quote failure to beat the Moscow times, unquote.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

Swimmer Profile: Thomas William Davis, NCAM by Mary Craddock Hoffman Thomas William Davis, who goes by Bill, learned to swim when he was about two years old. During his grade school years he took swimming lessons at the YMCA, but is wasn't until he was 13 that he began to swim competitively. At this time he also began to play waterpolo, a game he became interested in after watching it during the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Bill's father worked for Sears and as a result the family moved around a lot. Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles were among the many places Davis lived while he was growing up. By the time he reached high school he found himself in the Los Angeles area where he attended Foothill High School in Santa Ana, CA. Under Coach Tom DeLong he played waterpolo and competed on a swim team that boasted three Olympians (Bruce Furniss, Rod Strachan and Steve Furniss).
