Swimming N.Z. TEAM CHOSEN

Championships At Melbourne

The selectors of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association will recommend to the council at its meeting on Tuesday evening that the following swimmers should comprise the team to compete in the Victorian championships to be held in Melbourne from January 16 to 28: Miss Helen McLeary (Waikato), 110 yards and 220 yards women's butterfly. Miss Lynette Norman (Auckland), 220 yards women’s backstroke.

Miss K. Sawyers (Auckland), 110 yards women’s breaststroke. Bruce Robertson (Auckland), 110 yards and 220 yards men’s backstroke.

G. Wakeley (Auckland), 220 yards men’s breaststroke. The selectors, who watched trials at Wellington at the weekend, were impressed with the quality of performance of a number of swimmers who did not gain automatic selection as a result of the trials, said the secretary (Mr B. O’Neill) and they suggested that the following swimmers, in addition to the team selected, should be sent by the centres from which they come: Miss R. Dunlop (Otago), 110 yards women’s breaststroke.

Miss J. Hunter (Auckland), 220 yards women's freestyle. Miss E. North (Southland), 220 yards women’s backstroke. Miss M. Phillips (Auckland), 110 yards and 220 yards women’s butterfly. Graham Dann (Canterbury), 220 yards men’s freestyle. M. Webb (Bay of Plenty), 220 yards men’s breaststroke.
