...there were two in the fall and three in the spring.

I remember doing volleyball first (sprained my ankle a week in) followed by fencing, then in spring I did advanced fencing, social dance, and weight training.

A nice bonus was getting to do the rotations with the varsity coaches from some sports.

I think I did racquetball, fencing with Yves Auriiol, social dance, the beautiful game of G-O-L-F with Noel O’Sullivan, and tennis with Bob Bayless.

I watched him on attack against an Olympic medal winner. It was like Yoda vs. Jabba. An absolute master.

Which I did.

Something about a sore shoulder from weight lifting, which was true, but 4 hours of sleep and a crushing hangover had way more to do with it.

Mind you I was captain of the my high school swimming team, and seriously considered swimming for Notre Dame, but ultimately decided against. Yet somehow Br. Louis did not like this way I swam side stroke or some such nonsense.

I then spent a semester swimming laps while the rest of the class wore floaties.

getting high scores on the swim test. Rumor was they graded it on a curve. They had a certain number of spots for the swim class to fill.

... skating, circuit training, tennis and handball.

They all were fine, if a bit of a pain to do.
