VERY swimmer, good or bad
II should be able to tread water.
IL Treading water is one of the
most important assets a swimmer can
have. While its Importance cannot be
over-estimated. the method by which
one is able TO tread water is an easy
one.
The fact is, there is nothing at all
difficult about the art of swimming
Il should come as second nature to all
of us. Don't believe that the art Of
swimming is something one must
strive for TO gain. No not by any
means. The only thing to strive for
is perfection in swimming
To be able to tread water means
that at all times you are able to con-
duct yourself the same in the water
as on land When you know how to
tread water you can, If in a difficult
position. direct your rescuers and also
see when they approach you how they
intend saving you, whereas if YOU
We're swimming you Mopld hardly
be able to do anything but swim about
blindly and perhaps lose your life
There are a thousand reasons why
YOU should learn how to tread water.
I won't bore You with any more for
I am certain that you are all wide
awake enough 20 realize its impor-
lance
