WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25,1987, PAGE 15 SPORTS Henry girls win DYSSA swim title His team is smaller and had to go to Dttnbarton twice a week to prac- tise while repairs were made to the pool atfIroquois Park. But coach Dennis Tate has wat- ched his Henry Street swimmers overcome that to win the Lake On- tario Secondary School Association (LOSSA) championship and just narrowly miss the Durham-York title. "My team has been much larger in the past," says Tate, six-year coach at Henry. "I was astounded to find we had won LOSSA and that the women had won DYSSA." He says the team has some .strong individual performers who are members of the Whitby Iroquois Swim Club while other members are just natural athletes, including Gr. 9 and 10 beginners. That means the future looks very bright for Henry St. swimmers, says Tate. He also held more strenuous practice sessions this year.
