Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Swimming Simplified The purpose of this text book is to simplify the learning and teaching of swimming from a scientific point of view. Our further objective has been to arrange a series of lessons in their logical progression to meet the demands of schools, playgrounds, clubs, and aquatic centers. The text has been graduated to serve the needs of beginners and swimmers, and a special section upon the method of procedure for mass instruction and class management has been arranged for teachers of swimming. We have avoided a detailed and technical analysis of all swimming strokes, featuring only the fundamental ones necessary in the logical progression of swimming. A lengthy dissertation might be written regarding the values of swimming. However, it is sufficient to state that it is one of the most popular and pleasurable of athletic activities; from a physiological standpoint it is one of the most healthful exercises for developing the body symmetrically; swimming is necessary from a utilitarian standpoint because it serves as a means of saving life, A swimming and life-saving test should be one of the graduation requirements in every institution of learning from the elementary through the advanced. Instruction should not be limited to university students, but it is imperative that the youth receive training in swimming and in life-saving. The leading educators, directors of physical education, aquatic authorities, and members of the medical profession realize that in the near future this demand must be met. This work is truly applied physical education. The following are a few of the endorsements on "Swimming Simplified" received from some of the leading educators and swimming authorities: "In my opinion your book deals with the subject in a most scientific and thorough manner. In learning to swim it is especially important that the novice gain confidence at the start. Proper control of the respiration and balance are essential to confidence in the water. Your plan for preliminary instruction in these matters through dry land and other drills and your careful attention to the laws of natural progression are indicative of the scientific study you have made of this sport. Allow me to congratulate you and your sister and wish you the success you deserve in getting your book before the public."

Book excerpt: From Ann Packer, author of the New York Times best-selling novels The Dive from Clausen’s Pier and Songs Without Words, a collection of burnished, emotionally searing stories, framed by two unforgettable linked narratives that express the transformation of a single family over the course of a lifetime. A wife struggles to make sense of her husband’s sudden disappearance. A mother mourns her teenage son through the music collection he left behind. A woman shepherds her estranged parents through her brother’s wedding and reflects on the year her family collapsed. A young man comes to grips with the joy—and vulnerability—of fatherhood. And, in the masterly opening novella, two teenagers from very different families forge a sustaining friendship, only to discover the disruptive and unsettling power of sex. Ann Packer is one of our most talented archivists of family life, with its hidden crevasses and unforeseeable perils, and in these stories she explores the moral predicaments that define our social and emotional lives, the frailty of ordinary grace, and the ways in which we are shattered and remade by loss. With Swim Back to Me, she delivers shimmering psychological precision, unfailing intelligence, and page-turning drama: her most enticing work yet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Swimming: A Practical, Working Manual, Graphically Illustrated From Original Drawings and Photographs, With a Clear and Concise Description of All Strokes A few days careful practice of this method will enable the enthusiast to reach the shore with the head slightly raised above the water, after which progress in the regular breast stroke should be found easy. The writer wishes to re peat that great care should be exercised in selecting a place free from currents and weeds, as otherwise after the feet are removed from the bottom there is danger of being carried into deep water; and it is also wise to have a friend at hand in case of an emergency. A summary Of the above method is as follows First - Wade out waist deep, bend the legs until the head is under water, with the eyes open. Second, -lie on the surface face down and float. Third, - Use the arms to reach shore. Fourth, -use arms and legs in reaching shore. Fifth, -endeavor to reach shore with the head slightly raised.

Download or read book Speed Swimming Classic Reprint written by C. M. Daniels and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speed Swimming In undertaking the task of giving to the public a short treatise on swimming I recognized the wisdom of obtaining the collaboration of someone well versed in theoretical as well as practical swimming. In looking about me I soon realized that I could do no better than in applying to either Mr. L. de B. Handley, or Mr. Otto Wahle. Both had had a brilliant competitive career; both had followed closely the development of swimming at home and abroad, and though only amateurs, had coached with as much success as any professionals in the country. I was fortunate in finding them only too glad to assist me, and with their aid I put together this book, trying to condense into a few pages all that could be useful to the swimmer, aiming at clearness and brevity, and omitting all unnecessary stuff. Most of the illustrations are from photographs posed for by representative exponents of the strokes, but owing to the difficulty experienced in getting proper effects with the camera, through water, I deemed it advisable to pose them on terra firma. As a consequence, in several cases the body is so strained as to give a slightly erroneous impression, but the positions of the arms and legs are accurate both individually and in respect to each other, and the only fault lies in the fact that the legs are at times too far below the surface. The line drawn across illustrations indicates approximate water-line. In taking these position in the water, however, the body will, of itself, correct the fault, and unconsciously the right balance will be established.
