Esv to Learn 10 Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn 10
swim. A writer in the .9merican 14g-
rieulfwriss offers the following suggea-
ti0ns, By 0bedience 10 which slIe sft Ol
swimming may be readily acquired
When I was q boy learned TO swim
by means Of ssimnihg-board. This
is The safest method possible. Ii cork
are used they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throw
ing the head below the surface. and
putting the wearer in danger OF drown
ing.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
for boy to have.
The board Is perfectly safe. aid one
may learn 10 swim in very short time
by using one. II should be over four
feet long, over foot wide and two
inches thick, white pine or cedar.
To use it, boy wades into the wa
ter up to bis shoulders, then taking hold
Of The end Of the board he pushes il be-
fore him-lowards the bank, and not
into deep water-springs forward with
his feet and throws himself fat upon the
water.
This movement carries him along a
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at the same time, Keeping the
knees as far apart as possible, and then
striking out with both feet, not straight
backward, but sideways, just as a frog
does.
The stroke is made slowly and is re-
peated again, drawing up the legs slow
ly and steadily. The board keeps the
head above water. When the leg stroke
has been learned, one hand IS taken
from the board and the stroke learned,
or the chin may be rested on the board.
while the stroke is taken with both
hands.
This is q very good plan, it comPels
the swimmer to keep bis hands under
the water which be should always do.
By-and-by the board may be pushed
ahead, and the young swimmer may
swim after il. always Keeping il within
reach. When a number of boys 90 10
swim they should always have two or
three of these boards with them for use
In case Of any accident.
