They include two triple titleholders in Miss Betty Casey, formerly of Wellington, and the brilliant 12-year-old former Aucklander, John Jarvis, younger brother of the National Medley champion, W. J. Jarvis, who will also be competing. Miss Ngaire Lane who is shortly to undergo her Olympic Backstroke trial, has been showing brilliant form of late and will compete in freestyle as well as backstroke races.
