Americans Have More
interest in Swimming

Americans are taking more to SWIM
ming every year. and the one just closing
has been a record breaker in more ways
than one. Many of the marks in swim
ming were supposed to be almost I'M
beatable, but the records have been
smashed right and left until many Will
wonder where the limit really is. Not
only have records been broken here and
abroad, but swimming as a sport has
taken hold with the people III a way that
is remarka BILE. NataJoriums are being
built at rapid rate, and where there is
a chance for d swimming beach about
the many cities the authorities are put
ting forth their efforts to improve such
places. AS a result the young people
are becoming expert swimmers and it is
only natural that fast swim4ers should
be produced.
