Two Jewish swimming clubs which had been set down for having forbidden its members to participate in the Olympics at Berlin last Summer were today reinstated in good standing.

The Czechoslovakian Swimming Club announced that the ban on the clubs, the Hagibor and the Bar Kochba, had been lifted. Both had been barred for one year from participating in games within the country and for two years abroad.
