International Swimming from Coventry: Great Britain v. Canada
This international is a vital part of the pre-Olympics build-up for both countries. Each event will be contested by one swimmer from each country-but Britain will also have a number of other Olympic hopefuls taking part, who will have the chance to prove they can outswim the 'official' competitors.
Among the British swimmers to watch out for is one established star-Scotland's Bobby McGregor, world 110 yds. free-style record-holder, and three names newer to headline-making.
They are Ray Terrell, a fifteen-year-old from Southampton who recently smashed the British 220 yds. individual medley record; seventeen-year-old Martyn Woodroffe, a Welsh boy who has made tremendous progress in the butterfly events; and the Isle of Man wonder girl, fifteen-year-old Alex Jackson, who has twice equalled Diana Wilkinson's British record for the 110 yds. free-style.
Canada's Marion Lay is likely to be the toughest opposition young Alex has yet encountered and could well spur the British girl to a record time.
Canada will also have Elaine Tanner, who, as a fourteen-year-old, won the Amateur Swimming Association's 110 yds. butterfly title at Blackpool in 1965. Later Elaine switched to backstroke and held the world records at 100 metres and 200 metres - titles she subsequently lost to South Africa's Karen Muir and which she is out to regain.
