THE MARINE RECORD. LEARNING TO SWIM, Prm tin Ptfuhr Blgfcaw fauUf. The greatest difficulty to the beginner It to learnjto keep the proper position of the body after atnlnlng.lt. Thls;jIirfreulty{6snvo((ly ,be oVercome by using the proper stroke after having plsosd the body In tho oorreot posi¬ tion: In the use of tho arms, tho only direction tbsttlan bo given Is to remembor that, when the arms are thrust forward at the begin¬ ning of tho atio'te, such position of the el¬ bows and hands should bo tsken at will make the least rcslsUnoa to the water. To accom¬ plish Ibis, the hands should be placed palm to palm and tho elbows msde to come olnso together, striking them from under the chest. In making the effective part of the stroke, our object Is to got a forward mo - tlbn only. The arms and hands should bo so placed as to produce tho greatest resist¬ ance upon tho wator. To accomplish this the palms of tho handt thould bo thrown outward and tho place of the direction of tho stroke of the arms mado parallel to the snrfsco of the- water. The moat Important and tho most ofton defective point In swimming la the mode of using tho logs. It would bo well for a be¬ ginner to observe, tjio swimming or a frog, for undoubtedly the same methods of using tho logs thould be adopted by man as Is dis¬ played In the model swimming of that am¬ phibian. In analyzing tho stroko of tho frog, wo notlco that there Is no vertical motion, the whole direction of the force Is In a plane oxsotly horizontal, and Is accomplished by virtually opening and closing tho space be¬ tween tho knees—offering the sole nf the foot a» a resistance whllo kloking. and plac¬ ing the feet In a position of least rosis(anco while recovering. In accompl s ilng the first-of theso condi¬ tions—tho opening and closing or tho spaco between the knees—the knees should be thrown out and tho contraction of the legs made slowly. In order to causo as little re¬ sistance as posslblo to the headway already attained It will bo found that If we alternate tho stroke of the arms and legs by giving propul¬ sion with one while recovering with the other, a far more constant buoyancy will be attained, and, for long swims, It will be •found far less (aligning. — 'The new ateambargo J.
