LEARN WHEN NOT TO SWIM
Every Bit as Important as knowledge
Of Swimming Itself-No Perfect
Safety In Water.

A single newspaper column report
ed the other day thirty cases OF
drowning in places many miles apart
and under conditions as diverse as
possible. They were not suicides.
strictly speaking. although the moral
responsibility is not greatly different
In some of the cases. 1t Is mild state
ment that In more than one instance
the fatality was not necessary. says
the fatality was not necessary, says
cases were pathetic. some surprising
ly SO. Young women died clasped in
each others arms. playmates died try
ing to rescue each other. and there
we're one or two cases of real acci-
water under conditions preventing
rescue or escape.
With the thermometer where 1t is,
it Is idle to advise even nonswirhmers
not to go into the water Since they
will do 1t. 1t is doubtful advice to learn
to swim, since 1t is the swimmers who
most frequently drown. Having ta-
ken the responsibility of advising
everybody to learn to swim. IL is nee
essary to supplement- it by advising
those who have learned to learn also
when not to swim and dive. and to en-
force this advice by morals drawn
from recent awful examples. One
young man broke his neck and
drowned because he plunged headfirst
Into water which he was told was
shallow. How is it possible to be
truly sympathetic with such reckless
ness?
And the indignation with such dis
regard of human life is similar even
when. as frequently happens. divers
persist in trying the depths of strange
waters with their heads instead of
their feet. 1t is not so grand to try
unknown depths with leap instead
of dive. The difference between a
sprained ankle and a broken neck
measures the degrees of vanity which
are behind these two methods OF
plunging. Boys who try to float on a
board in deep water before they can
swim are just boys. and can be rea-
soned with suitably only by their pa
rents.
This is only word Of advice to
those who know how to swim, and ap-
pear to think that thereby they have
license to be foolish. There are
times and conditions when even swim
mers should not swim. and there
never is a time when swimming is
safe under unsafe conditions. So long
as water will strangle there is no per.
/ feet safety in the water. Sa long as
this is true. no precautions are exces
sive. whatever the skill of the swim
meY. Except for show and vanity. all
swimming exercises can be taken in
shallow water as well as in deep and
only under conditions where help is
sure and near. Everybody should
learn both how to swim and when and
where not to swim.
