SWIMMING We are not able to recall the last occasion when the Baths had a proper spring-clean, but this year they enjoyed a well-deserved coat of paint, and most attractive they look, eau-de-nil in colour, interspaced by five black lines, each one a guide for each of five houses. The season has been quite a long one, and sometimes distinctly chilly. Popularity has again varied with age, but the general standard of swimming has been maintained. The total of non-swimmers, now 17 in number, has been reduced by one in comparison with last year, and this year it has been increasingly evident that few boys, once they are swimmers, have difficulty in passing the boaters' test of four lengths. The Swimming Sports at the end of term, held in ideal conditions, were marked by the keen rivalry between the Manor and School House, and the latter were most unfortunate in failing by half a point to wrest the Kazerooni Cup from the Manor, who have now held it for five consecutive years. As last year, four further records were established by Intermediate and Junior competitors. Once again C. W. Thompson improved upon his own record and plunged the amazing distance of 59 ft., and D. N. Simmons displayed his prowess at the breast-stroke. DETAILED RESULTS 1. Under 161 Free Style-50 yds. 1st R. J. De Little, 2nd M. N. Coates, 3rd R. Nelson. Time : 34.3 secs. 2.
