We want you, Will. But we want you as a swimmer, not as a water polo player. I didn't want to give up one for the other. McLaughlin's swimming form was on display yesterday in the CIF-San Diego Section Division I prelims at Mt. Carmel High. Last year he won both events in helping Valhalla to the team title.
Swimming is an individual sport.
You get out of it what you make of your training. But it is also about what you mess up and what you don't do. In water polo you meet new people and have a good time with them. But one person having a bad day can affect the whole team. There are also days when everybody is clicking and working together, and that's a great feeling.
