First and foremost. get used to
water. Get used to having your head
under so that you don't mind. Keep
your eyes open all the time under

water for the sake of confidence-
and believe that swimming is a. nat-
ural thing. just as natural as walk-

There is no need to learn to swim
in a day. It can't be done. But with
confidence and not too much hurry.
progress can be made in a day and
it is progress which counts.

In I. week. if one really tries.
enough can be learned to make the
idea of swimming feasible and a. few
strokes can be made.

Never "duck" anyone learning to
swim and never let anyone "duck"
you. The psychological effect of be-

lng ducked is very very bad on the
beginner and will last a lifetime.
The person learning to swim should
be allowed to take his own time in
getting accustomed to haiing the
