On August 3rd the International Swimming Federation after an interesting debate on the position of paid life-savers, rejected the motion of South Africa to accord them amateur status. Australia, New Zealand and England supported the proposal. America suggested that the International Federation adopt the American ruling, allowing a paid life-saver to compete during his term of office or within 30 days thereafter.
Mr. Duff supported th motion, pointing out that life-savers swimming in the surf did not gain any advantage for still water competitions. The proposal was rejected by a large majority. Continental and Canadian delegates opposing it on the ground that the principle was open to abuse as clubs might thus obtain the paid services of the best swimmers under the cloak of life-savers.
