It was 30 years ago in the year 1974 when Mr. D. Bowler of Tollygunge Club who was then in Calcutta in the British High Commissioner's Office, proposed a swimming competition between the children of the premier Clubs in Calcutta having swimming pools, i.e. Calcutta Club, Calcutta Swimming Club, Saturday Club, and, Tollygunge Club. It was felt that this friendly inter-club competition would provide an impetus for improving the standard of swimming amongst the children in these four clubs.
