| Description |
Pauline Emily Laura Hoeft was a competitive swimmer of German-Samoan descent. She was the daughter of Karl Hoeft (a German) and Siniua Peau (Samoan). When her parents moved to New Zealand from Tonga on 25 January 1913, Pauline, aged 9, came too. By the age of sixteen she had become an accomplished swimmer, representing Auckland at a number of swimming carnivals throughout the country. In 1922 Pauline won the New Zealand 100 yards championship in 67.8 seconds, and later that year set a New Zealand record by doing it at 66.2 seconds. At the time she was described as “the most remarkable swimmer that New Zealand has produced. No other girl in New Zealand, or the British Empire, has credited herself with such startling performances.” (Hawera & Normanby Star, 14 October 1922). 1922 also saw Pauline travel to Honolulu, where she came second in the 100 yards competition. This image of Pauline has been cropped from her 1922 alien re-entry certificate. Archives Reference: ACGV 8840 W1514 Box 13/22 Material from Archives New Zealand |
