McGlashen Swimmers
The first swimming carnival of the newly-formed McGlashen Swimming Club was held recently in the McGlashen Pool, Roebuck Road, recently.
"Photo News" took advantage of late afternoon lighting and still water to shoot these unusual pictures of swimmers in action.
New pool is a decided acquisition to Gisborne's swimming facilities. A general view showing a backstroke race in progress.
The club's president and mentor, Ivan Wilson, entered the open race, but met with some unfair opposition from his offsider, Percy Braithwaite, who was pulled to victory on a rope, only to be disqualified for accepting "outside assistance".

Ivan Wilson isn't sneezing under water...he's just been pushed in by the girls.
