WOMEN SWIMMERS
EDUCATIONAL TOUR Bv Telegraph Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, December 2. What is described as the finest team of women swimmers ever assembled in New Zealand has been selected by the Council of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association, to make an educational tour of the Dominion in the forthcoming season. The team is:—Mrs E. C. Isaac (Dunedin) , former New Zealand diving champion (manager); Miss Mona Leydon (Auckland), freestyle champion and record-holder; and Empire Games swimmer; Miss Kathleen Grey (Auckland), intermediate champion and record-holder; Miss Winnie Dunn (Dunedin), breaststroke champion and record-holder and Empire Games swimmer; Miss Joyce Macdonald (Invercargill), backstroke champion and record-holder and Empire Games swimmer.
The team will start on its tour as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, and it is proposed that the tour will continue throughout the entire swimming season, terminating probably about the end of March. All parts of New Zealand will be visited. The principal purpose of the tour is to teach swimming to schoolchildren, and it will form an important part of the campaign which is being undertaken this summer for the teaching of 70,000 persons to swim.
