Notes
Despite the necessary economies of wartime, and immediate post-war publishing, this journal of swimming news and events, remained attractively produced and well illustrated, including numerous charming period advertisements. The later issues are starting to look forward to the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Very scarce.
