This is somewhat surprising considering the dominance, both currently and in previous decades, of Australia within the international competitive swimming arena. ... The celebratory text 'Footscray Swimming and Water Polo Clubs: One Hundred Years, 1909-2009', goes some way to addressing this neglected topic by providing detailed records and statistics on one of the most prominent and successful clubs within the city and state during the 20th century. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Bulletin of Sport and Culture, v.36, p. 27-28 | Publisher: | Victoria University | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1328-8997 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 210303 Australian History (excl Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History) 210399 Historical Studies not elsewhere classified |
