space formed by the tips Of the finger
and thumb crowd it onward, provided
the surfaces are moist.
This is exactly the result to be aimed
at by the leg stroke in swimming. It is
conveniently divided into three parts.
The first consists in fexing the knees

third and last part Of the stroke lies in
vigorously drawing the legs together
while still keeping them perfectly
straight. the tendency of this action be-
ing to drive away the wedge Of water
lying between them. This, however,
being part of the whole body Of water,
Is heavier than the swimmer, who,
therefore, does the moving forward.
The legs are then drawn up again for
another stroke, and this part Of the
stroke is done more slowly than the re-
mafnder Of it. The effect of this stroke
is readily illustrated by standing in
water up to the neck, extending the
arms in v shaped form and then
quickly closing the wedge. The tenden-
cy to throw the body backward is readi-
ly felt. Vigorous action In performing
