Swimming Club Braves Climate
Swimming Club Braves Climate
In 1942, on a chill March evening the then existing swimming club quietly assembled in Thorndon baths. The membership numbered four. Three of these slipped into the cold water and swam a few lengths. Not very promising. However the nucleus for a swimming club survived; and in 1943 the swimming club flourished moderately, backed largely by Weir House swimmers and Vic. B barrackers. But as there are several clubs now flourishing which existed not at all in 1942 the few remaining members of the sorry group who assembled on that chill March evening look forward to a vigorous season. The high probability of an Easter tournamaent next Sear should boost the membership.
There will be an Annual General Meeting this term. Watch the notice boards, all swimmers.
