A proposal to transfer £350 of its funds for use in educating children in swimming was approved at a meeting of the council of the New Zealand Swimming Association last night. A ■motion authorising the transfer will be submitted to the next meeting of the council.

Thoro was a proposal to transfer £154 from tho overseas tours fund, but this was opposed and not adopted. It was agreed generally that little good came of sending New Zealand swimmers to tho Olympic Gaines, but it was held that much good was done by visits of swimmers to New Zealand, and to linanco such visits money should be held in a fund.
