WHAT THE BATHS HAVE DONE FOR SWIMMERS.
Sir,—ln reply to your question. as to what ihave~ the" baths done for swim-, luers, I have to state this: " ' , During, and. up'to the present part of the season there have been over' 3400 children passed throiugh.the batks free and they have had freeVinstTUction in Winiming and life saving. On the competitiye side of the question the >Hutt 'Valley Glut) have had-a very good seasonjr haying 'won 7 championships of the Centre and finished second and third in eight others. On Saturday 22nd Febr'ii-. ary, out of six- relay championships, in which the Hutt Valley were represented, they finished, first ,in ..the Intermediate Boys' Maxwell Trophy, 4 a team, in, record time/ In the Intermediate .Girls they finished second, a tou-ch away. T?wo junior teams competed and finished'third in: their respective races. The Senior Plying Squadron, in which tho club were represented for the first.. trnie,\they wefe. just, beaten for second place by Wellington, MaTaimi winning fairly" easily; Lyall Bay also starting. Also, during, the season the Handicap swimmers have had a feast of wins; in just about-aH the carnivals the Hut-t swimmers have scooped the peol. In frh'e Junior and Intermediate Championships the^Hutt Club supplied fir^t,. second and third^in the 'Junior Boys; first and second in the Intermediate Boys; \ first and second in the Intermediate Girls; and first>in record^time, and third in the junior .girls. This is -just' a rough summaTy of events i,n answer, to yout question. '.',-.
Wow sir, wiffch tie proposed seheine of heating the baths, swimming should go ahead wjth leaps and bounds. What will the swimmers of the Valley do with these improved conditions if they cando so well under conditions as they are at present SucTi. a valuable asset ad Riddiford Ba^bhs are now, they can b«" jnade better, and with improved conditions means more revenue, and witb more revenue better instruction and
more swimmers. % , :^ Thanking you -for your valuable space.—l am etc., . '
