There Is no longer any excuse for
anyone not to swim.
If you have been feeling shy

over it. 1t may surprise you, but
this style of swimming is in high
favor as a corrective for shallow
chests and poorly develope q
shoulders.
However, If your style is still
in the formative stage, you may
prefer to learn the back stroke,
which does about the same thing
for your figure as the breast
stroke and allows you to keep your
face out of the water. Any swim
stroke will help to save your figure.
Occasional swimming is helpful.

suits from regularity. Estelle
Jayne, who scintillateS in the

trim by swimming. In a couple of

and improved her chest contour.
Swimming has come to be her

better you are able to swim, the
more fun you'll get out Of it; and
the more you will swim, the better
it will be for your figure.
Swimming is generally conceded
to be one of the finest exercises
money can buy, and you will find
that it pays well to invest in a
few lessons.
Not only will your figure bene-
fit, but your health will show
marked improvement after sum-
mer's recreation in the water. In
fact, many cases of i'll health and
serious body defects have been
corrected by swimming.
Instead of feeling awkward in
the water. think of your figure.
The side scissors is good for hips
and thighs that need better mus
culature, and the propeller-like
action that goes with the back
stroke is also excellent for the legs.
Even if you don't swim a stroke,
you can exercise these muscles by
holding onto the side of the pool
and threshing the legs up and
down rhythmically. You'll find
out how hard this is to do! Fifty
strokes at a time is enough.
Learn to swim, if you don't
know how, and if you do know,
plan to swim better by the end
Of summer. This exercise gets all
the muscles and cannot be ex-
celled for normalizing body pro-
portions. It's the tops in figure
magic.
