Shawnigan Lake School Magazine Boating and Swimming AFTER the usual two or three weeks ' instruction under oars, the senior divisions started sailing. In addition to the six sailing dinghies, the School fleet has now a cat-boat and two kittens. The two latter were in great demand on Sunday afternoons, the Merlin, especially, being much sought after as the best sailing boat of the lot. The early morning plunge and afternoon bathing did not start till May 1 2th this year, owing to a slight epidemic of flu. However, once started, it got away with a good swing, culminating in the usual water sports at the end of the term. This year we revived the long distance swim — three-quar- ters of a mile, from the station to the boat-house. There were twenty-one entries (including several Juniors) , and all com- pleted the course. The finish was most spectacular, Best i winning from Larsen i by only 5 sees. Great credit is due to both Best i and Larsen i for the way they swam throughout the race, also to many others who, while not being amongst the earlier arrivals, are yet to be congratulated on their achieve- ment of such a long swim. The finish was as follows: — 1st— -Best i. 1 2th — Taylor. 2nd- — Larsen i. 13 th— Haddon Page Twenty-four
