Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 4, No. 3. April 09, 1941

Cold Water

Cold Water.

Wellington water is cold and we have no tepid baths. Consequently all the year round training is rather rare! But attendance at Club nights has been satisfactory. Our, chosen representatives are Marion Malcolm, Betty Walton and the unsuppressible Jo Pound, R. T. Shannon, B. B. Hands, S. Scoones, J. Gillies and N. Turnbull. Turnbull has been training hard in the last month and should give a good account of himself in the 100 Yards Freestyle and Backstroke. Scoones, former New Zealand Junior Surf Champion and Senior Champion at Wellington, will go "all out" in the 440 Yards Freestyle. Shannon is better known as a swimmer than a diver.

The Club owes its thanks to its trainer, Mr. Hurdle.

Canterbury

They have been training in the tepid baths down there, but their star, R. McKay, has been training at Trentham. He won last year's 440 Yards Freestyle.

Another star is Martha Steven, the winner of the Women's 50 Yards Freestyle last year. She is in good form.
