â€"In The Swim When the kids do bring home the bacon, it is usually the ones who refused ‘to open the purse wider that do the most bragging about our wonderful athletes. . mot be used to criticize the govâ€" ernment‘s policy regarding their contribution to amateur sport, but it is difficult to let it pass without some comment. prestige. A good W.’IP athletes abroad enhancés, the reputation of our country and other nations become anxjous to do business with us. ~ When an athlete who spends from five to six years in trainâ€" ing, and the coaches, adminisâ€" trators and parents who are part of the program, have to beg for some money to go out of the country to gain some prestige for that very country, he is a dedicated athlete indeed. Any government which would allow this to happen should hang its head in shame. Certainly, some monies are contributed. But the meagre pittance allowed, and usually with tongue in cheek, is only a fraction of what other countries do for their athletes. Swimâ€" clubs like Etobicoke, North York and U.S.A.C:; in Toâ€" ronto have several swimmers ready to break into world class competition. They can‘t do it in the bathtubs around Toronto that the authorities have the nerve to .call Olympic size pools. The European countries are simply years ahead of us, and compete against each other on a regular basis. Have you ever heard of a Canada vs. France swimming meet? We had an inâ€" ternational team < tour part of Europe in 1965 under coach Nick ‘Thierry, but has France, or Holâ€" land or Great Britain ever come here? . It‘s time that all the little voices in the wilderness got toâ€" gether and gave a great big roar. Metro Toronto missed the boat by not building a Sports Comâ€" plex as a Centennial project. ‘They wound up with nothing. Will it always be thus? A major building boom of sports arenas has hit West Germgny. They are raising the money by operating lotteries on a weekly basis for five years. The word lottery, of course, is a If they run trué to form, here‘s what will happen. There will be many meetings, parties, lots of hooferaw, and all kinds of money spent in the Metroâ€" politan area regarding Toronto‘s application for the 1976 Olympic Games, something that any orâ€" dinary, ground level, knowledgeâ€" able citizen knows they haven‘t got a hope of getting. They will waste enough time and spend enough money that could be used to build an Olympic Comâ€" plex Swimming Pool. We need this so that we ean produce the champions we need to convince the rest of the world that we actually have something here. We have the Bodies, athletes, coaches and administrators at the grass roots level, to compete with any nation in the world. What we haven‘t got is a govâ€" ernment sufficiently interested to give these people all the help they deserve. dirty word in this country. But at the same time, the governâ€" ment will allow you to go to their ~controlled ‘horse racing tracks and allow you to gamble your money. And without blinkâ€" ing an eyelash, your dollar is worth about eightyâ€"five cents when you do bet. They ease the pain, though, when they say that it‘s all for the improvement of the breed. My, isn‘t that nice. Now, how about a chance to imâ€" prove our breed, the breed of the fine amateur athlete.
