few rules for the uninitiated that VIII
serve to mark the path to follow:
T. Upon undressing take hot shower
or about five minutes Of steam-not more
in order TO activate the circulation and
open the pores. This particularly II YOU
come from the open air and are chilly
Should hot water or steam be unavaH-
able. d good rundown will do as well
Put wads of cotton in your ears be-
fore entering the pool The impurities
are otherw.se liable TO lodge in the inner
chamber and cause Inflammation.
g. Plunge into the pool directly upon
leaving tho shower or hot room, as
standing around ON the stone floor when
overheatcd is not advisable.
A. Take your swim at brisk but moder-
ate pace. without loafng or firing your
self. and adjust the distance to your
ability. Start with about forty or fifty
yards. and increase gradually up to about
800 yards o. at most 40. Don't 30 be-
yond that regularly.
3. on leaving the water take cold
shower to wash off any cxtraneous mat
ter which may have gathered upon your
body. when bath is well frequented
this is always wise precaution.
8. Dry off at once after the shower.
DO not linger around the natatorium
while wet.
( Z. Place a fresh wad Of cotton in your
ears while you dress so as 10 absorb any
moisture left there.
s. If your eyes feel at all infamed
battle them with a weak solution OF boric
acid
3 Dress without delay. or, if YOU are
anxious TO stand around for any length
of time. put on a bath robe and slippers.
TO- II possible. avoid going suddenly
from the heat of the natatorium into the
open air on very cold days. Allow your
{ body to cool off a bit first indoors And
see also thar your hair is thoroughly
dried before venturing out.

the breaking point is eventually reached.
The latest evolved strokes on the
other hand, are practically effortless.
The position OF the body is natural and
restful. the resistance TO the water has
been minmized so as TO be insensibe
and the propelling movements are easy,
efficient and conform with inclination.
One may cover long courses with them
as readily as one would in walking; no
fatigue IS felt If a moderate pace is held,
and one finishes quite fresh That, In
deed is the reason why children now
adays can equal the performances of the
strongest swimmers of the past.
As to abuse of the bath. ii is due to
the very attraction of the water. The
temptation Is great. when one enjoys
swimming. TO overdo things. You Will
often notice men. and particularly young
men, who will stay in the pool until y
chill seizes them. then rush 10 the steam
or hot room. work up a sweat and re-
turn to the pool, frequently going back
and forth several times between the cold
tank and the torrid atmosphere OF the
overheatcd rooms. Useless to say that
a prOtracted treatment of this kind Will
in the long run play havoc with even an
iron constitution.
