Swimming Fendalton Club Officers

In the first year of its reaffiliation with the Canterbury Amateur Swimming Centre, the Fendalton club had a successful record in competitive swimming, the president (Mr J. R. Pirie) reported to the annual meeting of the club recently. A large number of places had been gained in inter-club swimming, and three members, Paul Schmidt, Derek Staples, and Stephen Schmidt, had won Canterbury titles, said Mr Pirie. These successes were largely a result of the work of Mrs M. I. Kavanagh, who had coached the swimmers.

The club captain, Mr K. W. Staples, announced that plans had been prepared for a new block of dressing sheds for women members, and it was hoped that the sheds would be corfipletdd before the season opened.
