Support For Rule Change
Club delegates to the Canterbury Swimming Centre unanimously recommended an amendment to the national association’s rules regarding long and short-course records, at their meeting last evening.
The centre president (Mr G. S. Brockett) said that the national council was holding a postal ballot on a motion that an addition made in 1968 to the rule regarding the setting of short-course records in longcourse pools be deleted. If the motion was passed it would simply mean two records, said Mr Brockett. New Zealand records could be set only in long-course pools (55 yards), and short-course records in pools of not less than 33 1-3 yards and not more than 36 2-3 yards. Under the present rule there had been a terrific amount of confusion and consternation, he said.
