Monday, which was the first day of the free swimming campaign for all those who wish to learn. Eight learned Tues day and several of the Monday pupils ventured into deeper water. Over a hun dred have learned to take their first stroke this year and most of these are able to swim much better than those who learned by their own efforts two or i three summers ago. Many have advauc ! ed to the deep waters and quite a few have taken to the diving board. The reason for this is that those who start in right progress rapidly while those who learn haphazardly often swim for many years without learning to do more than keep afloat. Among those who have learjied this' season who have beeu individually taught to swim the longest to learn took only twenty-five minutes and, the short est only two minutes. Come-down and learn, it's easy, so easy that we only de vote a few minutes to each pupil who earnestly desires to swim. After you learn there are the advanced classes where you can learn anything on up to the expert stuff. Every man. woman, boy and girl should know how to swim and then every swimmer should be a life-saver: so while it is free take advant age of it. We teach them up to a hun dred years old but cannot guarantee to 1 learn any boy or girl under ten years old. Yet these youngsters can loaTu much by taking advantage of the clastgs held dur ing this week: matly of them will learn to swim. From Fremont to Coo Huge. Washington. D. C..
