Swimming Club.

All that we can publish at this time of year is a reminder of the fact that a Swimming Club has been established at V.U.C. It was inaugurated last season, and it is hoped that this year will develop into a very active Club.

All students should take note of the following extract from the Tournament delegates' report regarding proposed changes in Tournament events:—"In the event of the debates being discontinued, it is proposed to include swimming as an official Tournament event, with a maximum of four swimmers from each College in the teams, two men and two women."

With this probability in view, the stronger the Club the better. If we wish for worthy representatives in swimming, we must have a strong membership from which to choose. It is no good having swimming as an official Tournament event if the students are not willing to support the innovation. Victoria College does not want to show any lack of enthusiasm by sending away a second-rate team. So students who remain in Wellington during the summer vacation, and those who will be here for part of the swimming season, should link themselves up with the Club.

By the time this issue of "Spike" is published the annual meeting will have been held, and a start made with plans for the coming season. Remember that these will include the opportunity of competing in swimming meetings, and perhaps for a place in the swimming team, swimming practices at the bays and life-saving classes.
