For instance, The steamboat"-the
old back-wheeler. as one might term
it. In order to do this properly, enter
the water and turn on your back and
float. Keep the hands against the
hips. and work the feet UP and down
Shaping" the water vigorously with
the legs from the knees downward
Keep the legs 'LIMBERED.'
Do try hard to overcome any stiff
ness in the water. With a little prao-
tice. you will be able to propei yourself
speedily. Try and make BIG splash
with the feet, let them come OUT of
the water. You will find this a very
interesting and entertaining expert
ment.
Somersaulting in the water:
Take the same position as in the
steamboat.
Now bring UP the knees. until under
the chin and then quickly spread out
the hands. palm downward, and PUSH
HARD. using an outward stroke. You
will find yourself revolving with great
rapidity. Try 1t slowly at first and
then increase in speed. This Is a very
simple trick and the pupils Of my
class should be able to do this in
very short time.
Waiting In the water:
This is done with the aid of the
trudgeon stroke. and those of you who
have mastered the tr,,dgeon should be
able to waltz in the water with ease.
Instead of continuing the double arm
movement, If you will. after the right
arm has started on it's swing, bring
the left arm out of the water, and
