Original Toronto Star caption: Twin attempts at swimming honors will be the goals of 13-year-old Gwen and Allison Walker of Etobicoke; they say; after learning an Olympium Club coach thinks they have possibilities in competitive swimming. The twins think they can succeed if they join the club together because they always try hardest when they compete against each other. I just want to be better than Gwen; Allison said. I'd be willing to go all day to be the best. Parents agree.
