Motionless Floating. This useful feature of swimming is so seldom accomplished, or even practiced by the majority of swimmers, thatl dqubt whether they realize its usefulness; they coincide with that misleading

theory, "That

or, perhaps,

only certain persons can float."

venture to say that not above five per wit. of swim~ers

I

ever learn it properly, and that

ninety per cent. could do so if they carried out the proper method and gave it some little attention.

My experience is tha't in no case is it an impossibility to learn.

sons are able to float much easier than persons of sUght build; males.

Stout per-

females better than

Persons who are maimed or have not the full use of the limbs, young or old,

are upon equal terms.

Very little energy or muscular force is required.

A person

who may feel that a more violent form of exercise can no longer be enjoyed can always have ~pleasant

time whefl bathing if able to float.

to our entertainments

What a nice feature it would add

if some of our senior members

fancy swimming and floating!

The advantages

could give a good exhibition of

of floating, to the swimmer, are too

numerous for me to dwell upon at length here, but a word to tho~e swimmers who have neglected to learn this useful feature and whose whole thought is prize winning. your ambition is exhausted,

When

your power of endurance and speed are waning, and you are

no longer in the first rank 'of racing competition, you will gradually forsake not being able to show to advantage,

bathing,

as in the past, whereas, if you learn to be a thorough

master of the water you can enjoy yourself in our pool or at the seashore.

When

bathing in the sea I know of no pleasanter sensation than to go out beyond the breakers and stretch out upon the waves, and be buoyed up and down by nature's hidden power. To float on the water. so buoyant. so free. The acme of ecstacy. that Is .to me, Now In the trough, now on the crest, in nature's own cradle. rock me to re~t.
