Swimming Pool Where You Can Watch Under or On Top -- The spectators can watch the swimmers from either under or above the water-line. A swimming pool with under-water windows has been opened at Gloggnitz in Australia. It was opened recently on the occasion of the Australian Youth Swimming and Diving championships and is regarded as the most modern open-air swimming pool in Australia. This is a real fish eye view of swimming. Unlike fish, however, you can keep dry and warm while watching the swimmers enjoy themselves under water. August 5, 1954. (Photo by Paul Popper Ltd.).

Dark Blues In Training -- A study in expressions from the Dark Blues as they train in rough water at Wallingford. From left they are: M.I. Ross (rowing in place of Gobbo who has influence): E.V. Vine: J.M. Wilson; D.P. Wells, a new "Blue"; R.D.T. Raikes: J.G. McLeod: E.O.G. Rain. Although J.A. Gobbe, The Australian President of the Oxford University Boat Club, has selected his crew for the Boat Race, he has not finally decided upon seating positions, and the Eight are still being "re-shuffled" during training, to ensure that the best possible combination meets Cambridge.
