by Championships, to be held in Adelaide South Australia in late August, to this
newsgroup.
As part of my familiarisation process with the intricacies of posting to the
newsgroup this is a test post of the results of the fourth of five Commonwealth
Bank Winter AA Grade swim meets (or swimming carnivals in the South Australian
vernacular).
As an explanation to those not familiar with the scene in Australian swimming,
Australian Swimming Incorporated (ASI) is the controlling body of the amateur
sport in Australia and is affiliated directly with FINA. In each of the states
the sport is controlled under ASI by a local association, in South Australia by
the South Australian Amateur Swimming Association Inc. (SAASA or SA Swimming).
South Australia is by no means the powerhouse of Australian swimming with about
3000 registered competitive members in a state population of just over 1,000,000.
New South Wales or Queensland are perennially the top states in the sport in this
country, probably currently followed by Western Australia with South Australia
and Victoria fighting out the next rank. Tasmania and the Northern Territory
complete the ASI affiliates. (Please don't complain to me if you disagree with
this ordering, it is not meant to be definitive and is only approximate in any
case).
Three South Australians are in the Australian team to compete in the Atlanta Pan
Pacs. Because of team commitments they have not competed in this series.
