SWIMMING SEASON FIRST CARNIVAL ARRANGED The Auckland Centre of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association has decided to open the season with a combined clubs' carnival on November 20. The president, Dr T. H. Pettit, urged that the programme should not be too long, and that provision should bo made for water polo matches. It was decided to make application to the New Zealand Council for permission to hold the North Island championships in all classes at Auckland this year. It was also resolved to recommend the council to consider the question of inviting prominent overseas swimmers to tour the Dominion after the war. It was agreed to nominate Mr C. Atkinson, of Hawke's Bay, as the next president of the New Zealand Association, several mem' hers making reference to his long association with the sport. The question of restricting the number of competitors attending championship meetings was discussed. Jt was stated that many swimmers who did not have a chance of success at the last national carnival had come north for a holiday. Dr Pettit pointed out that a proposal to restrict the number comprising a centre team to 20 members was defeated at the annual meeting of the council. The Waitemiita Club's application to hold a carnival on December 6 was granted, as was that of the Ponsonby Club to hold one the following week.
