Serious dedication and
parental support are the keys
to many things, especially for
Mark. Matt and Lisa Rose.
The children of Mr. and
Mrs Ray Rankin of Nyssa,
these are three swimmers
who are exceptionally com­
petitive. Faced with a year-
around swim team no doser
than Boise, they practice
there almost every day.
Mark and Malt, twins,
began swimming at the age
of two and Lisa al five. Mrs
Rankin taught them and they
became avid waterlovers.

Lisa is now twelve. Matt and
Mark. 8, and they all swim
6.000-8,000 yards a day.
I he three are members of
the Boise YMCA team and
swim in competitive meets
each week. The team swims
during the entire year, with
about one meet each month
during the winter.
Mr. Rankin sees the
turning point in their com­
petitive swimming as occur­
ring between Christmas and
New Years, at the turn of this
year. The twins, coached by
Mr. Rankin, swam in the
Kearns Holiday Open meet in

Salt Lake City. Matt placed
sixth in an event, while Mark
won three third place awards
and. according to their most
emphatic booster, Mr. Ran­
kin. the coaches at that meet
were amazed at the boys'
ability, but saw their lack of
technical training.
It was then that coaches
from Boise. Blackfoot and
other teams, realizing the
promise of the twin swim­
mers, began to try and
recruit them for training.
Matt and Mark then
decided to begin swimming
throughout the year and
joined the Boise team in
January, a team with about
sixty swimmers.
Undecided about a com­
mitment to swim competi­
tively, fulltime. Lisa waited a
few weeks and then joined
the "Y" team. too.
Lisa's progress, techni­
cally. has been swift. Com­
peting last year at the
Caldwell Pentathalon. she
placed twenty-seventh. This
year she swam in that
competition to third place.
She swam the Open Water
Mile in Twin Falls, recently,
winning a second place
award with a timing of 24
minutes and 24 seconds.
Lisa describes the feeling
of hard swimming by saying.
"You get tired, so tired you
want to quit." That is when
the thought of winning makes
a swimmer push on and the
effort makes it worthwhile,
according to Lisa, who is one
of three frequent winners.
And winning, a swimmer is
compelled to do it again and
again
Matt and Mark are swim­
ming
on an almost-equal
par They have, twice, scored
a remarkable tie with each
other in High point scores.
Lisa is ready to increase
her daily swimming to
10.000 12.000 yards
Mr.
Rankin says. "She’s reached
a point in her swimming
where it is no problem physi­
cally," Lisa expects to swim
competitively until she sim­
ply tires from it.
She is
already looking at colleges
with good pools and compe­
tition swimming.
The three swim at the
same time, daily, because of
the inevitable traveling to
practice in Boise, this means
that Mark and Matt are
swimming with an older age
group, but they are allowed
this because of their own
accomplished abilities.
"No child can be forced to
lead this kind of life, with
the regimentation, discipline,
necessary to be good swim­
mers.” says Mrs. Rankin.
Supportive parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Rankin are. judging by
their frequent treks to the
city YMCA pool, as well as to
the out-of-town meets, from
which the threesome has won
ribbons and medals by the
shoe boxfull.
Between January and May
of this year, they have been
to meets in Missoula. Black
foot. Moscow. Salt Lake City,
Walla Walla, among others.
Mr. and Mrs. Rankin view
their travels to these meets
as a worthwhile aid to the
progress of their children and
continue to share their time
and make adjustments in
their daily schedules to allow
themselves to be fully involv­
ed in the work of Mark. Matt
and Lisa.
Mrs. Rankin states that
"All parents can do is give
them
encouragement and
opportunities." She and her
husband are quick to note
that other lessqualified swim­
mers simply lack the motiva­
tion for the particular com­
petitiveness or an oppor­
tunity to fulfill the desire.
It is an agreement, be­
tween Lisa. Matt and Mark,
that winning is the thrill, the
motivation. As well, they
have opportunities for ac­
tualization of their goals.
An observation of these
three hearty swimmers is a
lesson in discipline and
motivation and. mingled with
a high level of encourage­
ment. Mr. and Mrs. Rankin
can expect these factors to
impel Lisa. Matt and Mark to
continue to bring home
awards by the bushel.
These swimmers will swim
for a very long time.
