Sophomore swimmer Alex Verina was asked right after his race how it felt.
"You know what I do," he said. "I sing 'Ah, ah, ah, ah/Stayin' alive'..."
A reporter inquired: "What do you mean you sing? You're in the water."
"In my head, I sing 'Stayin' alive'..." Verina explained.
"It keeps me going. It works."
The setting was Coggan Pool. The date was Tues., March 10. The occasion was La Jolla's meet against Valhalla.
This reporter had never before heard from a swimmer that he or she sang while they're competing.
