Most of the pool records were set last summer when the pool hosted the provincial swim ming championships. Castlegar entered 54 swim mers in the meet out of the total of 223. Thirty of these Aquanauts are under 11 years of age, indicating the future strength of the club. In the under-seven Novices division, Castlegar had five swimmers.

Third place bronzes were given to Mel- anie Gibson, Ian Dudley, Neil Jones, Stephen Junker, and Brian Vecchio. This coming weekend sees most of the teams travelling to Colville, Wash. for an in- vitational swim meet. This should prove to be an inter esting meet for the swim- mers because of the larger pool (40 yards) with much longer events than are nor- mally run in the Kootenay swim meets. On the following weekend, July 26-27, the Aquanauts will be hosting their own meet at the Bob Brandson Pool. Sale advised BRANDON, Man. (CP) — The board of directors of the community-owned Brandon Wheat Kings will advise club shareholders to sell the Western Hockey League team. Team president Garth Cumming said Tuesday the recommendation will be made at a general share. holders meeting in about three weeks. The team has lost $282,000 in three years of community ownership. Cumming said he hopes the team will be sold to a local group in an attempt to keep the team in Brandon. However, an Alberta or- ganization, the Lethbridge Tier One Hockey Club, has been the only group to express an interest in pur- chasing the team. Lethbridge lost its WHL franchise at the end of the 1985-86 season when the Broncos were sold and moved to Swift Current, Sask.
