SWIMMING TITLES
AUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS A decision to hold the Auckland swimming championships in the Olympic Pool, Newmarket, on December 21 and 22, was made at last niglifs meeting of the centre. The competitive Season will start to-mor-row night with a combined club carnival at the Tepid Baths. The South Auckland centre requested that for the New Zealand championship meeting affidavits be accepted in lieu of birth certificates, as laid down by the rules. It was decided that the rule must be adhered to, but if circumstances arose whereby it was found impossible to furnish a birth certificate, the matter would be referred to the New Zealand Council. The chairman again stressed the need for accommodation for the visiting swimmers. It was stated that as the majority of competitors woald be young people it was desirable that they should be quartered in private homes. It was decided to issue each club with forms to make a canvass of old swimmers. The New Zealand Swimming Council advised that all dives at the New Zealand championship meeting would be taken from the three-metre board. Allied servicemen are eligible to compete in the Auckland championship and hold a title if successful.
