Champions spend from 15 to IS hours weekly in practice. It's not easy. During hours spent in practice, time is divided go that the swimmer negotiates al- most a mile and half a day.
 Practice on the kick, with or without a kicking board, requires the swimmer to cover almost 500 yards Q day. H alf an hour Is spent on sprints, turns and push offs. Then the session Is finished off with discussion or criticism on stroke or physical condition. emphasis, of course, being placed on the faults of the swimmer.
 Swimmers under my direction generally work alone. This gives them more time to concen- trate on themselves their own pacing, and their own stroke.
 Under actual racing conditions. the swimmer must have learned to set his own pace, forcing his com- petitor to fall in line with him.

You will see golfers score con- sistently with certain differences. but they will all have most of the Fundamentals.
 If you will study the action of god golfers you will see that their shoulders are almost parallel with the line of fight as the clubhead comes into the ball. By careful ob. servation you also will note that the left hip is bulging outward a bit-the right hip bent in toward the left. The right side should not be turned well around toward the left, the result of letting the head or chin move in that direction.

BY RAY DAUGHTERS Famous Swimming Coach, Wash.
 ington Athletic Club
 Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of train- ing for swimming.
 Power, plus condition, plus a perfected crawl stroke are the three essentials of a champion merman. A perfected crawl can be taught - mechanics of swim ming are easy once the novice be- comes used to his watery sur. roundings-but power applied to perfected stroke and physical condition are the results of much time and patience in practice.
 In developments of champions, time is the premier element. Un- less the swimmer is willing to put in a regular amount of time each week, developing his body and applying power to the basic motions of the stroke, there IS little use in trying to attain championship form.
