This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 20 January, 1959. "Oblivious of the boater hat being waved behind him by Ong Choom Lim, the Olympic backstroke champion, D. Theile, stands with the Australian Universities touring swimming team on arrival in Palmerston North yesterday. Thiele (third from right) thrilled Manawatu enthusiasts with his brilliant swimming in the municipal pool last night. Ong Choom Lim is a Universities freestyle champion and former Asian relay team member."
