Originally published in the early 1900s, this is an early book on
swimming strokes, drills and games and contains much of practical
information and use to today's reader. "Besides being comprehensive,
this book includes many original features: strokes are clearly
classified, there are new fancy swimming feats, and an original series
of landdrills have been included. Finally there is a chapter which
completes in detail this first season's work for any bather." Many of
the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides
Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include:
