HOW To LEARN THE
ART OF SWIMMING
ONE LESSON WILL TEACH ANY.
ONE WHO FOLLOWS THE SUG.
GESTIONS.

With summer here and the season
for swimming and surf bathing on,
the following rules are given for the
benefits of all desiring to learn the
art of swimming, which if followeG,
will assist materially:
First-Observe the motions of a
swimming frog.
Secondhand a beach or pool with
level bottom. No "stepoffs" or holes.
Lean forward. Take long breath.
Let your head sink into the water as
far as it will. Allow the arms and
legs to assume their own positions.
Then reach forward with the arms
and bring up the legs as you have seen
the frog do.
Third-Bring the arms back with
an outward circular motion, kicking
the legs back at the same time.
Fourth-At first you may not get
your head out of water. Never mind
that Swim as long and as far as you
conveniently can under water. You
will not be very far under. Your hips
will probably be above water, but
your mouth and nose under.
Fifth-Try and try again and keep
swimming with your face under as
long as you can endure it without
pain or inconvenience
Sixth-Directly you will find that as
the arms start to come back they viii
elevate the head out of the water, so
that the mouth is clear. Then take a
good deep breath.
Seventh-As the arms go back the
head will sink again. Let it sink. That
is the way 10 SWIM.
Eighth.-As the head sinks bring
the arms forward again and also the
legs. Then go through the same mo-
ton as before.
Ninth.-Remembe each time the
arms come back in the stroke the
head goes up. Let the mouth just clear
the water far enough and long enough
to take in a good breath of air.
Tenth-That is the way the great
swimmers swim. They do not try to
keep their mouths far above water
They bring the mouth just far enough
above the water to take a breath
That is all.
Eleventh.-What handicaps most be-
ginners is the desire to keep the head
too far out of water. Champions could
not do what beginners try to do.
Twelfth.-After you have learned 70
keep afoat and swim a bit you can
learn the different strokes and the
proper way to apply them
