SWIMMING.

o A GREAT RECORD. A career that extends over 18 years as a swimmer and New Zealand representative goes to the name of Jack Enwright, the Aucklander who has worthily held his place among the front rankers of the sport. He commenced his swimming career in 1907-8, and in 1912-13 ho was runner-up for the Auckland junior championship. While at the war Mr Enwright found time to win the 50 yards and 10.0 yards championships of the New Zealand division at Armentieres. He also won several races in England prior to returning to Auckland. In 1919 he won the championship of the Waitemata Club. In 1921 he won the 100 yards New Zealand championship, and held that title for four years, finally losing it to A. D. Adamson, whom he coached for tindistance. Mr Enwright lias taken part in the championships on six. occasions over the 100 yards and has secured four firsts and one second. Tie has also coached Miss Gwitha Shand and Pauline Hoeft, who a few years ago were New Zealand reps. This- is only a summary of Enwright’s activities in the sport, but his career lias been, a long and successful one that places him among the best of Auckland swimmers. His one ambition now is to see Auckland' win the water polo championship, and he states that as soon as that comes about lie will retire from the game. ,Hc is getting on in years and his pace is not what it once was. Mr Enwright lias also been a delegate to the Auckland Centre for over four years, and his latest appointment is that of manager of the Auckland reps, to the New Zealand championships to be held in Napier, commencing on January 23.
