nt a tea party.

Smart Move Wins Race

As the A.S.F. pool is measured out in metres, the swimmers had to turn after the eighth top und swim a yard back, to complete exactly the 220 mark.

Here Hekking displayed a smart piece of fast thinking, which gave him the race by the slim margin of a half a yard.

Touching

the end of the pool with one hand, and instead of turn- ing completely around, Hekking simply slapped his other hand back, thus touching the finish rope and winning the race, white Chic was still taking the turn.

Wen came in a few seconds after Chle to beat Stephen.
