Swimming Carnival

A heavy downpour ended a most enjoyable evening's swimming for a capacity crowd at the Municipal Pool. Some excellent racing was seen before the rain sent unprotected patrons scurrying for cover. The Nelson Swimming Club, which organised the carnival, put through a lot of races in a short time - a tribute to its organising. Above, David Henderson (Wellington) covered the 100 yds open butterfly in amazing time.

Judges, Tony Wilson (Wellington) and Arthur Gladstone (back), and Tony Garguilo and Tom Gould keep an eye on a race in progress.
