Long Beach water polo team relay to Catalina fails short of half way
The North Long Beach Aquatic Club failed to complete the Catalina Channel relay as a 10-member Long Beach High School team swam from Long Beach Marina. Strong southeasterly swells and a missed rendezvous with a guide boat left the group short of the halfway mark after about six and a half hours. Coach Mike Bartosh blamed the drift and communication gaps and said the team may retry next summer, focusing on water polo instead.
