I WRITTEN FOB TBI DIEPATCH.1
Xine men ont of ten who taught them
selves to swim do not swim correctly. To
-? swim correct!? does not mean to keen afloat
- for a lone time or even to cover a lone dis
tance in reasonably fast time. It means the
art ol making every muscle do its perfect
work, of setting the best results with the use
Of the least strength.
In the Kew York Athletic Club two morn
ings of every tftek I instruct the spns of the
members In the art of swimming in the big
tank where the water varies from five to nine
feet in depth.
In this tank there is a staircase extending
irom the" floor above to the bottom of the
bath.( When the lad is ready I have him
lake hold of the upper stair and slowly let
his oody dowa until his feet touch bottom.
"When he finds that he can stand up without
being drowned and at the same time keep
bold of some object on dry land so that he
. can lift himself up out of the water he begins
to have confidence in himself. This con-
fully extended, the big toe should be
stretched on a straight line with the leg.
Both the arms and legs should be used at
the same time. While the arms are strik
ing out the legs should be pushed down.
As the arms come back on the recover, the
legs are drawn back into place in the next
stroke.
All the speed gained from the kick does
not come from pushine the water with the
feet Far more is derived from bringing
the legs quickly together very near the end
of the kick, at the point when they are
stretched farthest apart. In this movement
you get the greatest possible speed.
The management of the breath is another
important item. Always breathe when yon
are beginning the recover with you arms, so
that the body can have the greatest buoy
ancy at the time it needs it most
When the breast stroke has been com
pletely mastered the swimmer will not find
it difficult to acquire the other strokes, be
cause, altlvrogh these strokes differ largely
one from the other, the principles of the art
are contained in the breast stroke.
THE SUXDSTBO&t STEOKE.
The overhand side-stroke, as I use it, is of
my own invention and is generally known
among the professionals as the Sundstrom
stroke. I always use it in my long distance
races and find it the tastest stroke I have
ever seen. I will describe it as it is used
when the swimmer lies on his right side.
The head is turned sharply to the left and
the right eye and ear are almost constantly
.under water. The left arm works continu
ally in the manner of a windmill being half
the time out of the water and over the head.
The right arm makes a movement somewhat
similar to the one it performs during the
breast stroke, only it stops at the hip and
not at the shoulder, and on the recover it
pulls the water back directly under the
right hip and not by the side of the body.
When the left arm is coming back the legs
are kicking out When the left hand is
fully extended the less are outstretched and
the righ. arm is straightened out-back on a
line with the chin. When the left arm is
coming down the right is coming back and
the legs are being drawn up ready for
another stroke. If you are swimming in
rouzh water and want to keep your head
above the waves, make more of a downward
strobe with your under arm. This Hits the
body partly out of the water. If you want
to gain speed, draw the arm in toward the
SWniMIKO ON THE BACK DOUBLE BACK STEOKE.
'fidence is the first quality a swimmer should
i possess; without it he will never learn more
'than the principles of the art.
PUTTING THE HEAD UNDER WATEE.
After he has found that he is not iu dan
ger I have him wet his head with one of his
hands, and if he isnot too timid I try to
persuade him to "hold his nose with his
Jingers-and duck his head under water.
2ext I place his left hand on the second
step below the water, while his right still
holds fast to the upper step. Then as he
iolds his chin on the level of the water by
the left arm I take his feet in my hands and
go through the motions of a perlect kick,
such as i used in the breast stroke. I do
this 20 or 30 times.
The second exercise consists in taking the
boy into the middle of the tank and placing
liim directly before me. Then I take his
bands in mine and put them in the proper
form for a stroke, with the hands out
stretched, palms downward, the fingers close
together and the two thumbs touching each
other. While his hands are in that posi
tion I stretch them out and go through the
motions o a perfect stroke. Generally one
lesson upon ibis exercise is enough.
In the third exercise I put the belt about
the bov's waist and attach it to the pole and
wing him out into the water. He already
kuoH-s the proper movements of the legs and
arunh, but he has never practiced them
together. While he is suspended in the
water I teach him to pnt into practice the
two exercises be has already learned. Three
lessons are generally sufficient for this part
of my system. j
Now I have my pupil try all three of the
former exercises alone. First he stands up.
Then stoops, after drawing in a great
breath, the bigger the better, draw his
bands close to his chest and strikes out for
himself. If he loses his head the worst that
can befall him is a ducking for he can easily
touch bottom with his feet After a few
trials he finds he can swim a half dozen
yards or more. Now he is ready for deep
water, but if be should be a little timid
about venturing out beyond his depth I give
him a life buoy.
THE BREAST STEOKE.
The chief stroke in swimming is the
breast stroke. In making this the swimmer
places his bands in the position I described
above, with his elbows extended slightly
and his forearms dote to his chest After
inflating his chest he springs forward, strik
ing out at the same time. After his arms
are extended and the thumbs again touch
each other he brings his arms back, de
scribing obliquely the arc of a circle, and
it hen his arms form a straight line with his
shoulders the stroke is ended and they are
drawn rapidly back to their original posi
tion. During this time the legs must do
their part As he strikes out they are
drawn together so that the Knees are
pit of your stomach, or even a little higher
than that, and you will find that you can
put more force into your stroke. i
The only difference between this overhand
and the ordinary underhand side stroke is
that in the former, the over arm reaches out
of the water. The overhand stroke answers
ail the purposes of the underhand stroke,
and is far superior to it in the matter of
speed.
THE TUBTXE STEOKE.
The fastest of all strokes for a short dis
tance is the turtle stroke. It cannot be
used to advantaze, however, longer than
100 yards, as it is extremely tiring. This is
thejway it is done; The swimmer throws
his arms alternately right and leit out of
the water and ahead of him, pulling them
in with all the muscle he has at his disposal.
As the right arm is coming in the leit legis
kicking out; at the same time the left arm
is going out and the right leg coming up for
another kick. The swimmer pushes" the
water toward his body with his arms, and
in kicking brings his legs in toward the
center of his body after the kick is nearly
ended. This latter movement sends him
"riJ V lljj -

spread apart as wide as possible to allow the
inner edges of the feet to come together.
In the kick which follows, the legs move as
nearly in the same manner as the arms as
their conformation will allow, and when the
arms are extended to their utmost, the legs
are also straight out, with the feet in close
contact with each other. The legs are
drawn back while the arms are straighten
ing ont to the shoulder line. The move
ment of the less is of the greatest import
ance. The feet should pifsli the water with
the sole and s-quarely, aud when the legs are
through the water as a fish is propelled by
its tail.
These are all the important breast and
side strokes, and it the swimmer has mas
tered them he knows all that he need know
of this style of swimming unless he wants to
become an expert One of the most difficult
and at the stme time most interesting fancy
strokes I use is the corkscrew. This is the
way I do it: I plunge into the water with
my face below the surface, the top of my
head and the calves of my legs alone show
ing. Then I put one arm stiff and close
against my body and thrust the other
straight out ahead. The legs are kept rigid
and close together. I get the motion by
paddling with my feet from the ankle joint,
using first one foot and then the other. By
a twist of the ankle I not only go ahead but
force my body to turn. I go forward just
as an augur goes into a block of wood,
straight ahead aud at the same time revolv
ing. It is very hard and can only be learned
by long and patient practice.
SWIMMING OX THE BACK.
Now, I will describe to you how vou
should learn to swim'on your back. After
you have swum out into deep water roll
over on your back and stretch out your legs,
letting them drop a very little lower than
your body. Keep your hands close to your
side. Th'en paddle with; your hands in a
rotary fashion and from the wrist Keep
your lungs well filled with air, and you
will find you are as safe and more com
fortable than when 'you are lying on your
stomach.
After you have learned how to do this try
the double kick. This is precisely like the
breast stroke, only your position is reversed,
As your legs come together your hands go
forward over your head.
The fastest stroke for swimming on the
back is called the overhand stroke. It
differs from the former in several ways, the
chief distinction being in the movement of
the feet The knees are raised not so high
a to retard progress through and in kicking
down, first with the right and then with the
left, you must drive the water away lrom
you with the sole of the foot as the le goes
down and with the top of the foot as it
comes up. This is done by a movement of
the ankle joint which most be extremely
flexible to make this stroke effective. While
the feet are paddling in this manner the
urms are thrown alternately out of water
over the head, sweeping the water back, on
the recover, and under the body with tre
mendous force.
In learning, it is best- not to begjn with
the; overhand movement, but to keep the
forearm below the line of the elbow and
paddle under the body. Thee, after this
has been acquired, keep the arms projected
stiff in advance of the head and paddle
with the hands-from the wrist only. When
Turtle Stroke, Seen From Above.
these are learned, try the "wind-mill"
motion just as I have described it
FLOATING IS EASY.
The best way to learn to float is to catch
each foot by the toes with each hand, lie on
the back and swing the feet outward, throw
ing the head well back. Always be careful
before doing this to fill the lungs with air.
While you are floating, breathe quickly aud
do not exhaust the lungs, for when they are
empty the body immediately sinks. After
this has been tried a number of times let the
feet go and stretch out the legs, extending
the arms above the head so that your face,
toes and fingers are visible above the sur
face. There are many ways of floating.
You can put your arms by your side or fold
them over your chest or behind your head.
It you want to make progress while float
ing, put your arms by your side and paddle
i tli your feet as described in the overhand
back stroke.
Iu treading water hold your hands above
the surface and step up and down first with
one and then with the other foot, taking
care to point the toes downward when rais
ing the foot and, by bending the ankle, step
down flat-footed, so that in raising the foot
the body is not dragged down, and, in
stepping down, the body is raised up.
HOW TO DIVE.
Diving should be learned as soon as one
has acquired the use of the breast stroke,
but there arc many swimmers who are self-
J I
The High Dive.
taught who have never learned this valua
able accomplishment. The best way to
learn it is by sqnatting on the edge of the
water with the elbows resting on the knees
and the hands drawn up as they are in pre
paring for the breast stroke. Then plunge
in the water, taking care not to open the
eyes until the head and part of the body at
least are under the water. Gradually raise
the body in practicing until you are able to
stand upright with the arms extended in
front of the face, and leaping upward strike
the water with the bands. As I said before,
close your eyes while you are in air, and do
not open them until you .are partly under
water. I have known a number of boys
who have lost their eyes by opening them
belore they struck the water. A chip on
the surface is apt to strike the eye ana in
flict serious injury.
There are many ways of diving, but the
straightforward plunge is the simplest and
most useful. When you dive in shallow
water it is best to squat and make a plunge,
striking the snrlace flat and glide out into
deep water. That is the way all races are
started. An expert swimmer can undress
while under water. Three years ago when I
swam 16 miles in 4 hours and 5 minutes I
dived from the deck of a Brooklyn lerry
boat while I was dressed as a 'longshore
man, and when I came to the surface I only
had my tights on. I had undressed under
water. v
It is not hard to swim under water. When
you are once the proper distance below the
surface you should strike out, using the
breast stroke, taking care to bring the arms
back straight. You can seethe light through
the water and know exactly how deep down
you are. When you want to come up make
a downward stroke with your arms.
SAVING LIVES.
In saving lives of drowning persons I can
hardly lay down any particnlar rules. I
have saved the lives of 30 persons since I
began to swim, and I never knew how I
would act until I was in the water. Cool
ness is the first quality you need under those
circumstances. It is also the second and
likewise the third. There are several gen
eral rules, however, that should always be
followed wherever practicable. They are as
follows:
1. Don't let the drowning person clasp
you around your neck, body or arms.
2. Swing around, dive down or even swim
away to avoid such a clasp, for in nine
chances out of ten it means your death as
well as his.
3. If possible grasp him by his coat collar

or hair, and hold him out at arm's length,
swimming meantime with the other arm
and lees.
4. You should always be behind the per
son you want to rescne, and if possible get
him on his back as well as yourself, par
ticularly if you have a long swim to
make.
6. If the drowning person is unconscious
try to hoist him on the lower part of your
stomach, where bis head will be above
water, and hold him there with your legs,
leaving your arms free for swimming.
