At long last the weekend of the Swimming Carnival was fine. Some 40 members turned up. There were plenty of entrants in all events, in fact nearly everybody capable of swimming the sixty or so yards over Lake Eckersley entered in the events and kept on competing until exhausted. In the open events Vor a Matasin was outstanding and Phyllis Ratcliffe, who thought she was just coming for a walk, gained places in three events. Claude Haynes retained the freestyle title while Brian Harvey staged a comebabk by winning the men's breaststroke event. A npw event was a relay race between three teams of five each, Excitement and barracking mounted as the last swimmers staged almost a "photo finish" | At long last the weekend of the Swimming Carnival was fine.
