without touching hot bot bottom ot ottom tom torn Endurance In swimming comes from two things the time of ot the stroke and the adjustment of its force lorce to tho the strength of the body betty boty

Itcan Itcan can rn swim any great distance at nt a high highs speed but can keep up a n con cere certain tain tam rapidity of ot stroke for tor a 1 very err long longtime longtime time What this rapidity will be 0 de the depends depends on the strength of ot the Individual and ond Should be ascertained by practice In the castaway stroke used by b sail sailors Int ors ore In the English l navy the swimmer about five strokes a minute and auth oid does not move more snore than two feet at a stroke but n a I man has haa been be n known to keep It I up Ul UI tor for two days after being belu lost overboard from flom a boat on tIme the Good Goodwin Goodwin win sands Time The best way wn to adjust tIme Iho stroke of the tIme Individual IB Is to keep It In exact time with wih the breathing which will wi be beabout beabout about twenty strokes a 0 minute or a little litte faster taster If I the tIme strength Is exerted I when whelm the tho lungs are oro full ful and the tho cheit is la firm and ond expanded It can be used to better effect and If It tho the time of the exertion Is always the time same sarno as lS the time of breathing the tho whole operation be becomes becomes becomes comes harmonious and falls Into a n rhythm which requires very little effort efort to kep up Ut Another reason reson Is IB that when otto ono Ole does doea not breathe in exact time with wih tha th stroke the tho breathing must be hurried to keep up or time the stroke must be slowed to avoid the time unnatural shortness of ot I the breathing It I Is the stroke which should be adjusted and not the tIme breath Nothing else elf Is so EO exhausting as Ir Irregular irregular regular breathing especially In lii swim swimming ming osing and nothing else elpe so no quickly brings It on as IS Irregularity Irre In the stroke or a stroke which Is la too slow or too fast for time the natural time of ot the breath tho The rhe whole art orl of ot swimming Is di dl directed directed r to bring bring abut nb t this thin adjustment Ten years ngo ugo American used a style of stroke which would be laughed at today toda The Tho well known which consisted In swing swinging ing lag both arms arnie forward out of the wat water Wit er Or the tho body hod bod being 1111 on the tho chest with time the head and shoulders well wel out was wasso WIS wasso so exhausting that no swimmer In this country could coull keep It up for tor more than 10 yards ards oven even when specially trained for tor the tho effort The Th reason renson for tor this was that ing It was out of time with wih the time breath breathing breathing American experts began be an about six years ear ago aso to take tako up the English side sidestroke Ilde sidestroke stroke which differed from the Ameri Airier American American can side stroke In making the stroke of the upper tipper arm aria after the time kick kik and not at the same came time This alternate mo ma motion moton matlon tion ton resulted In doing

nt at lt nil all ni the mouth being turned to one on side Just enough to Inhale the breath as no the tho kick forced the tIme body both bod forward forwar and made a 11 wash or trough in the water wlter just deep enough to 10 clear tIme tho swimmers mouth Tho Time head being carried cfred by b the tho water till ni the time the feet teet came nearer the surface and ani all ni the time power of the stroke was used to propel the body bd forward whereas a II great deal of the power In III Inthe Inthe the tho was used u ed in bobbing the head up and Ind down This saved saed power and added greatly to the tho endurance of at atthe the swimmer It being b much eaSier coder rim sim simply ply to propel a n floating body Jody than to propel and lift at the tIme same some time The Tho next step was wa to try the return over tho the water of ot the under arm ar which had always been Jeen carried forward under underwater water wafer At A first this seemed p med Ilka Iko going back to tho the old stroke but there ther wan svan Wi this great Ireat difference that In Inthe Inthe inthe the the whole head heuI was wal above the tho water line lne and the tho stroke of at both arms was wan the same rams sweeping from tom side ride to side In the now new stroke the face tace mind and head are ore burled buried after the kick and the underarm under arm Is II lifted out and thrown thron forward while the tho whole body bad bod Is I submerged The next kick makes make the wash In which the swimmer breathes the upper arm stroke follows the head and face fact disappear and the under tinder arm armIs armis Is 18 brought out and thrown forward When this first stroke was wn first tried it I was a thought to be as exhausting as a the old but on account of its It having 10 so much less leu work to do doall doall all ahi the power demonstrated that If the stroke was as properly adjusted to the time of ot breathing a I swimmer e could keep kepp It I up for some time and there are arc today at nt least a n dozen men who can race a I mile mihe mie with wih It Many lan modern champions champlon think that this style aUle of ot swimming Is quite cuIte new and anti some romo of ot
