Carter competed in four events, winning silver in the 100m butterfly in a time of 1:10.75. He also clocked 1:13.15 in the 100m backstroke, 1:19.83 in the 100m breaststroke and 59.60 in the 100m freestyle. Venters Scott clocked excellent times in the 100m backstroke, 50m freestyle, 200m individual medley and the 100m freestyle, while Brunton was fifth in the 400m freestyle, in 9:01.30.
