Swimming Season Going Well

This year the Swimming Club has, without doubt, had its most successful season for some considerable time as far as centre championships and carnivals are concerned. Des Dowse, our star performer, has won the 100 yards and 220 yards Wellington Breaststroke Champs. (In the latter event he broke the record), while Des Dickson won the 100 yards Wellington Backstroke Champ. In the Peck Shield, the 1½ miles Harbour Swim, we supplied the individual winner, Nanette Broom, while our team finished third in the team's race. Dong. West, Bob Smith, Cath. Eichelbanm and Peter Fleischl have all contributed to our successes at the various carnivals where we have won more than our share of the handicap events, while we are proud to record that we have the crack medley relay team in Wellington.

Des Dowse

Our prospects for tournament look brighter than they have for some years as Dowse should be successful in both the Men's Breaststroke Events while Pip Piver is a likely contender for the diving. Nanette Broom and. Gwenda Martin should be worthy representatives in the Women's, events.

The date for the Inter-Faculty Tournament has not yet been settled but notices will be posted on the various notice boards in the College. We should like to see a large attendance of freshers at club nights which are held every Thursday night at 8 p.m. in Thorndon Baths.
