Transcript
00:00Water is a very great leveller, and we're all the same.
00:04Everybody's the same, no matter what you look like,
00:08what shape you are, nobody cares.
00:11It's in the water, and it's good exercise,
00:15and it becomes very social.
00:18The girls all care for one another.
00:21Back in the day, in 1966 when we started,
00:25everybody was the same.
00:28So we didn't care what you looked like,
00:31whether you could swim.
00:32We taught you to swim if you couldn't swim,
00:35and we've done that too.
