Although few of us knew Frank Stevens, we can claim his success as our own, because he swam with the club as a junior member in the 1930s.
He trained in our river to became Australian backstroke champion. He also swam in the New Zealand Empire Games.
He was THAT close to representing Australia in the 1952 Olympics: they took a team of 12 and he was number 13.
Frank Stevens was the younger brother of our Ray Stevens, whose second home was Sandy Beach.
