HARRY HAINSWORTH We are saddened to report that Harry Hainsworth, FINA Administrative Asaistant , died, 26 December 19n of a sudden heart ailment. Harry has long been a friend of swimming having been the AAU Aquatic Administrator and Executive Director and, most recently, FINA Administrative Assistant. His excellent work. and warm friendship and humor will be deeply missed.
A Special Report by Dick Mullins
Well, It worked. Swim-a-thon
The odds were heavily against it happening right In the middle of a meet bit It happened to Masters swimmer Sid Weinberg, of the Jersey Masters team. Sid entered the two-day York Dutch Masters Meet In one age category and competed on the second day In another age group. Sid swam at age 64 on the first day and had to compete in the 65-69 class on the second day. Meet manager, Cal Schaeffer presented Sid with a birthday cake with one candle. When the Super Swim-A-Thon was first dis
cussed last May, even Its most ardent backers had doubts as to Its success. A Swim-A-Thon on such a wide scale had never been attempted before, to our knowledge and the logistics were almost mind-boggling, but now, after six months of plannlng, work - and swimming - the results are In.
Here's how the Super Swim-A-Thon came out: 19 teams from Dade and Broward counties In Florida, with a total of some 1 200 swimmers ran~ing In age from 3 to 55, ral~ a total of approximately SS0,000. (Of course, as this Is written, all pledges are not collected yet and some of the early reports are sketchy, so the total could change and be even higher.)
This makes the two-day affair the biggest Swim-A-Thon ever held and the most money raised for swimming In a single coordinated event. The previous high fCK a single Swim-AThon was by DeAnza Swim Club of Callfornla with $15,775. Actually this total was seriously challenged by the Fort Lauderdale Swim Team which raised at least $15,200 through the 123 swimmers who took part In the Super S-AT ... and It could be more. South West Aquatic Team was second with $7,917 In pledges.

Joan Osborne '33 stood in her kitchen cooking as I approached the house through the garden and up onto the spacious lanai.
She manages to find time to cook, garden, and sew, squeezing them into a strenuous daily schedule which calls for many hours of swimming practice.
At 60, Joan Osborne holds seven national swimming records. And, more importantly, she's won them all in the last four years.
There's no question as to who has had thegreate~lnlluenceonthiswoman'sswim career.
"My husband," Joan says. "He's encouraged me to try to swim and to work up to the top. He's my coach and since I sleep with the coach it's easy to see how I get to the pool on time in the morning."
The two rise early each morning. work out and"have a light breakfast before head· ing to one of the District pools nearby.
Lloyd Osborne has been swimming competitively since high school and college where he was captain of the Yale swim team his freshman and senior years. Four years ago when Buster Crabbe, an old friend and swim competitor of Osborne's, was in town attending a Master Swim Meet at Kaimuki Pool, Uoyd paid him a social call. Lloyd returned a newly slg\ed up member of the Masters Swim group and announced to Joan that he wanted to go to the Nationals two weeks hence.
But, he didn't want to go solo. "I figured this would be a good time to
read a book and needlepoint, but such was not to be my luck. Lloyd wanted me to swim and participate In the meet, not just spec· tate.
"I thought about it and decided I'd try. This meant I'd have to start practicing, so I went down to the pool the next day and I could not swim one hundred yards before I was totaUed. The next day, back to the pool. To my surprise, I did a little bettet
To make a long story short, after two weeks of intensive workouts at the National Short Course in Santa Monica in 1973, I won the 50 and 100 freestyle events, setting a national record in the 100 freestyle in my age group, 55-59.
What was it like winning her first national title? Joan instantly begins describing her feelings with vivid recollection.
"I was so absolutely flabbergasted and so startled and so totally surprised that I was just out of It. When I touched the electronic pad I didn't even realize what ha.cl happened. I looked around and didn't see a body in the pool. I thought everybody had gotten out and I was the last to finish. It wasn't until a few seconds later that I saw a body come in and it wasn't until Uoyd told me that I realized I had won the event. I didn't even know you ha.cl to stay in your lane until the last person finished, and I thought I was the last. I was supposed to be the slowest entrant, so I was in lane 8 and couldn't really see what was happening. When the judge told me I'd won, I thought they'd made a mistake."
From that day on, the somewhat naive newcomer, Joan Osborne, has gone on to continue her winning streak.
This year of 1977 at the short course Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale this past May, at the Swimming Hall of Fame pool, Joan swam the five events, the maximum events allowable except for relays. She won all five of her events, 500 yard freestyle, 1650 yard
freestyle, 50 yard butterfly. 100 individual medley and 200 L M. She set three new national records in her age group in the 50 fly. 100 and 200 yard individual medley.
At the long course Nationals Masters in Spokane, Wash. in August, Joan' won all five of her events, the 1500 meter freestyle, the 200 meter individual medley, 50 meter butterfly, 400 meter freestyle and 100 meter butterfly. She set two national records in the 1500 meter freestyle with a time of 29:52:85. and in the 100 meter butterfly with a time of 2:06:65.
It Is Interesting to note that in the 1500 meter freestyle, she took 44 seconds off the old record, which Joan had set the preceeding year.
P.S. By way of coincidence. Joan's first attempt to learn the butterfly stroke occurred one afternoon two years ago when the author of this interview gave Joanie instruc · tion in Kailua Bay.
It's all a far cry from Joan's first recollec tion of her swimming at Punahou. In 1928 she was an eighth grader and her first claim to fame was as a plunger. Plunging was an event in which one would dive in and glide making no motions or breathing. The min · ute the head came out of the water in order to breathe, the time and distance was recorded.
Now her daily swim consists of berween 1200 and 1600 meters of medley.
Joanie and Lloyd are the parents of four children and the grandparents of six, all of whom live on Oahu. Four of their grand· children are at Punahou. She says her chil· dren are all naturally inclined to be competitive in sports but seem to have an awareness that having dear old mom and dad Involved at their ages is a pretty good thing.
Family life has been affected by this new thing called let's go swimming. "My appearance", Joanie admits, " is usually wet" "I'm afraid I'm a little lazy about my appearance. Howeve~ Lloyd realizes that it's difficult to look well above and below the neck at the same time when you're a swimme~ especially a girl."
"One of the hardest things for me to accommodate was breaking up hours be· tween breakfast, lunch and dinner. It took a long time to change my old habits. We've worked out a routine so that now I can just walk out the backdoor. tum off the lights and go. It was a psychological hangup I had. My goodnatured and realistic husband will put up with a lot of things undone in order that we swim every day. Make the beds? Forget it Lunch out of a can of soup? Fine."
Waking up early every morning. swimming in the cold pool without a heater has really paid off, for her great dedication has brought much fame in the Osborne household, and in the swimming world. Joan says she has never thought of quitting except maybe once or twice while attempting to learn how to do the butterfly ... "It's during this lime that you ask yourself. What am I doing here? I wish I were at home in bed."

Another Senior Citizen Praises Masters Joan Osborne was one of about 30 members
of Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, Hawaii's swim team represented at the Masters in Spokane, Wa. this year. Many of the participants were Hawaii's senior c:ltlzens and one, Jeny 8eMett, here glves·her account of the oenlor citizen Involvement and thdr admirable performance ot the meet. Bennett's son. RJchard, Punahoo '47, won the 200 meter backstroke In his age division.
"Joan Osborne asked me If I would write to teD about ow Pohai Nani Swim Team which is com· posed of S\Vlmmers over 65 years of age I guess Joan told you that we went to the National Mas 1ers S"'om Meet 1n Spokane In August and not only had a wonderful bme but did much better than I ever dreamed we would. We have been "training" only this year for the big event and also for the State meets held during this year. It all started when I vislted my son, Richard Bennett '4 7. at Stanford in June 1976. and he was practicing for Masters meets. He ln111ted me toswlm with them so I could see what a wonderful activity it is. fm sure you know Masters swim against their own age groups. He is 4 7 and swims in the group 45 to 49 yea.rs. It seemed such run that I decided to try lo find some swimmers here at Pohat Nani who \NOukl swim with me in the meets. The motto of Ma.iers Is Fun, Atness. and Friendship And that best describes IL We have about 10
people who swim but reaDy only 6 of the~ irl competition. 5 of us went to the nationals. The women's group of over 65 was first with 62 swimmers.
Our swimmers in the meet were Robert Moct-Smllh, Punahou class of 1920. who took the gold medal In the 100 M. Backstrol<e (a na· tional record) and silver medals in the 50 M. Free and the 100 M. Free. Gratia McConkey, for· merly from Maul. took 3rd In the 100 M. Breast, 4th in the 100 M. Free and 5th in the 50 M. Free and 200 M. Free. Hazel Montgomery (born on Maui) took Gold medals in the 50 M. Free and 100 M BreaS1 breaklng national records, and Gold in the 100 M. Back and the 100 M Free Jamie Cameron took silver medals in the 50 M. Free. 200 M. free and the 100 M. Free. Jamie was a teacher for many years in Ha wall's schools. I took 3rds in the 200 M. BreaS1. 200 M. Ind. Med .. 50 M. Fly. 100 M. Fly. and the 4th in the 100 M Breast We women took I st in the 200 M. Freestyle relay and the 200 M. Medley Relay breaking the national records. Our team, with Lloyd Osborne swimming with us. took second In the 200 M. Mixed Free Relay.
Most important of the scores was that our VJomen's Senior team (SW'lmmers over 65) took first in the entire meet with 193 points. The 2nd place team, R1nc:onada. ol Polo Alto had 88 points. We were way ahead in !st place with 255 points. Next closest team had only 170 points. So of course we are elated! We hope olher senior citizens will Join in the fun and the competition. The prognim was started by 2 Navy doctors searching for the best way to keep their men fit. Swimming was chosen as the best aU.ro•und adiv· lty, and the age-group compettdon devised to add interest and motivabon
I have always felt close to Punahou since our son attended Punahou, and because the Puna· hou swim team practiced at the University pool (where I taught) during the war Y"ars.
4 Members d the Pohal Nani Swim Team, part al the Hawaii representation at the Spokane Masters meet this year are from left to right: Gratia McConkey, •Jerry" Bennett, Jamie Cameron and Hazel Montgomery.

EDITORIAL - I have had a request to reprint an editorial that '!""wrote last year due to the number of swinvners appearing in the Top Ten Times that use a scissor kick when swlnvning breaststroke and yet are not disqualified. As Rules Chairman the most flagrant violations observed at local meets are: I) fewer than three timers per lane; 2) no stroke & turn judges; and 3) no lane place judges. Our tlr1es are Important! We use them for records, All-American and Top Ten Times Ranking. Each swinvner s!11:·uld have the best actual time that he did! The ti me should be read the same way no matter where the race occurs - to the slo\~est tenth. The averaging of ti mes seems difficult for most timer~. You may not use a digital time when reyular watches are al ~o being used. All times must be to the slowest tenth. The most flagrant violation of the stroke rules seems to be the scissors kick used in the breast stroke. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ADVANTAGE. No matter what the age of the swinmer, he should be disqu.1lified when observed doing a scissors kick during the breaststroke. Lane place judges or across the board judging is o ften importan t to decid~ when a back up ti me should be used if automa t ic equipmer: t Is being used. Let ' s follow the rules and be fair to everyone! ......... . ........................................ .

MEMORIAL TO MY DAO, CLIFF BROWN - One of the last things my dad did before he 1·:as hospitalized with cancer wa s to attend the Nat iona l AAU Convention In Columbus, to bid for the Long Distance Ma~ters Championship to be held in Menomonee Falls, WI, July 22, 1978. Masters Swimming was a very important part of my dad's llf.e and so with the help of the Wisconsin Masters, I wl 11 toe putt Ing on the "Master's Maximum" this year as a Memorial to my dad. He died Dec. 19, 1977, in Madison, WI. Many thanks to all the Wisconsin Masters who were so kind and helpful to my dad In the hospital and to my fam-1 ly during our trips to Wisconsin those last two months. For those swimmers wanting to be on the mailing list for the "Masters Maximum Swim", please write me . Edie Gruender,
3329 N. Valencia Lane, Phoenix, AZ 85018 .................... . SHORT COURSE NAT I ONA LS - HI Id red Anderson wr I tes "The necessary arrangements have been made to hold the S.C. meet in the Univ~rsity of Texas pool at Austin, capitol of Texas on Hay 19-22. It seems the students wi 11 be out of school that week en~. The meet could not be held in a more beautlful pool. It has automatic timing and all of the necessary facilities. I questioned Bud about his recovery from his open heart surgery and he assured me that he will be recovered enough to handle the meet. He plans to be meet director." Thif. is good news and we know that all the Texans will help Bud to run a very sucessful meet. I understand that Austin is approximately

150 miles from Houston ...... ..... .. . ...... ................ . FIRST SENIOR AGE INVITATIONAL CANADA '78 - Yesf Thats the new name for the big event in August. Invitation:, have been sent all over Canada, U.S.A. - and the world. And the response has been most encouraging. To give one example -West Germany is filling up a charter fliyht with competitors and their families. That is just one result of Baron Oroblgs promotional trip to Western Europe last No11ember. Modifications to meet F.I .N.A. regulations have been made, and we now ha11e formal sanction from the Aquatic Federation of Canada. It is no secret that F.l.N.A. regulatior.s regarding Masters Swimming have obi iged us to alter our original concept. But we have good reaso11 to believe that the ~:eet wil I be a major step in the evolution of Senior Age Swimming, as it is called in many parts of the h'Orld, And that to keep pace with this evolution, new F.1.N.A. legislation can be expected before too long. Detailed planning, such as the day, time and duration of individual events is well under way, and so is planning for the social events. Once again: TIME: 20-30 /\ugust 1978; PLACE: Etobicoke Olympium, Ontario; PROGRAMME: All F.1.N.A. recognized aquatic sports. PETRANECH GETS HARR IE D! - Dale Petranech, President of DC Masters, gotlifrii"self officially l!larinated to Isabel, whom we a 11 met at the .,nnua 1 banciue t 1 as t Oeceinbe r. Da I e has been on the wagon for some ti me, and marriage can often result from something lil.e that. Eat your hearts out, gals! Congratulations from e11eryone to the newlyweds ...... . THA~K YOUS - Again I must thank Dick Bresnahan from Chicago who--i<eeps-t rack of a 11 the name·. and addresses and provides the labels for SWIM MASTER. It is most helpful to have all of the names and addresses on a prinl out for easy reference. Also thanks to al I the clubs and assnciations that send In the ir Newsletters. Many of the items that I use and share with all of you readers I get from local newsletters .......• FROM ENGLAND - R. J. Wi I liamson writes thal ! he recent Masters Swinrning Tournament held on the 22nd of October at Marshall ~ t Baths in London was a great success. They had a record entry with representatives from several countries . It \1as particularly nice to welcome Bob and Sue 11usson from the US. Many of our entrants are either Involved in water polo o r in long distance swimming or in other strictly amateur swimming and they are not going to jeopardise their status for the very I imi ted Masters pro9rarnme that we have at the moment , so we will continue to swim only amateurs. Watch out for the next instalment of this long runn ing ep ic! FROM THE OLD STERNWHEELER - A word to you housewiv~s out the-re-.-.-,sy-our life in need of some excitement? How many nights do you ~it at home after dinner, with nothing much to do. Picture t~is ~eemingly happy house~old: Hubby j, In the I iving room, struggling to stay with the :inti -hero symbolism in "Bowling for Dollars", t he boy is in the kitchen, microwaving the gerbil, and daughter upst.1/rs doing her spel I ing lesson on the hal 1 wallpaper. Isn't this the time to grab your s ui t and towel (and goggles and nose clips and ear plubs and shampoo and creme rinse and face cream) and head for the pool?
