METHOD TO IMPROVE STANDARD By Telegraph Pres» Msnrlation CHRISTCHURCH. March in The possibility of arranging for a tour of the Dominion each year by Australian swimmers will be considered by the committee set up at the meeting to-night of the Council of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association. This decision was made by the council after it had considered a report presented by the manager of the New Zealand swimming team at the Empire Games. Mr E. C. Isaacs. More intensive swimming and more competition against overseas swimmers of world class were essential if the New’ Zealand standard of competitive swimming was to be substantially improved, said Mr Isaacs, who suggested that an Australian team should be invited to tour New Zealand each year, and that a New Zealand team should visit Australia once in each two years.
