ENTRIES ARE still rolling in for the first International Masters swimming championships to be held at Queen Elizabeth II Park next Easter. Up to a week ago 1315 people from 17 countries had entered, including a group from Saudi Arabia. There is one former Olympic champion among the entries — Jim Montgomery of the United States who won the gold medal in the 100 m freestyle at the 1976 Olympics in a world record time. Dave Gerrard and Jaynie Parkhouse, two New Zealand Commonwealth Games champions of the past, and Hilton Brown a Commonwealth Games relay medallist at the 1966 Kingston Commonwealth Games, are other entries.
