A LAKELAND GIRL
GIVES HER VERSION OF
LEARNING TO SWIM
Clearwater SUM

Lots of girls who come to our
Pinellas beaches in the summer can
swim like fish, but for some reason
they like to have "a handsome man
teach them again. He need not be so
handsome, at that. The writer has
taught one mermaid, getting her so
proficient in the art that she could
swim all around him, within the
space of an hour, and the same girl
who was immensely easy to look at
in a bathing suit-was seen to beg at
least three other men to teach her the
rudiments Of swimming the same az
ternoOn
If you have any pleasanter way Of
wasting time, do not pay any atten'
ton to a girl, if she looks as though
she had been melted and poured into
her bathing suit, who asks you to
teach her to swim. Ten chances to
one, she could swim to the grouper
banks and back while you were going
half way out.
! Why women have so little regard
for the truth is something that has
puzzled the Beaches man all his life
and the mystery has never been
solved.
But a girl who was over here from
Lakeland Sunday expressed her SEN
timents thus:
Being taught to swim is a lot Of
fun-for the teacher. The trouble Is
you are never allowed to 60 way off
somewhere with serious-minded,
Trustworthy friend who really wants
to help you. You are always taught
in a crowd of good swimmers who
are looking for amusement.
IF you could 60 about 1t quietly,
in some secluded place, perhaps you
could pick up few fishy gestures in
time, but when a gang gets hold of
you and drags you gleefully into the
water and sings you about as if you
were young log you get discouraged
and decide that you prefer to walk. .
"They usually start out by assuring
you they won't let you drop, and then
they pusAy you down. After you have
swallowed more than the law allows
they suddenly take pity on your plight
and let you have breath of air.
! "Then they carefully arrange you
on the surface of the water and tell
you to strike out. Well, you strike
out" like a bush league ball player
and go down again.
"This time, instead of swallowing
the water, you get 1t backed up in
your ear, where it rumbles like Mag
ra Falls at a distance of 500 feet
When they drag you up and kind Of
untangle you, you are ready to quit
hut they aren't. They are having toe
much fun.
$50 they put you at he mercy o.
the waves again and tell you what t.
do with your arms and your legs, JUS
as If you knew which is which. Still
there isn't much pleasure in having
people fatter your intelligence while
you are fiatter on your stomach.
you kick out feebly, and the green
green water closes in over your head
AS q sinker you are wonderful. It,
not too much to say that you have {
sinking technique along with sink
ing sensation.
when your kind friends pull 20,
up and let you escape you go to tn
bathhouse vowing you will never lie
them teach" you again. Why shoul,
