Everyons should know how to swim for at Jeast three reasons, It is a splendid form of exercise judged from the standpoint of physiology it im- parts self rellance and courage and finally it may prove the means of saving life, With this fn mind the local branch of the Red Cross cooperating with the Y.

A, are promoting a Splash Week Campaign for boys and glrls in the city, 10 to 15 years of age who cannot swim, The course is due to start on Monday, June 29 and end Friday, July 3. Every boy or girl in the city, 10 to 15 years of age who can not swim that registers, will receive the course of five lessons free. The simplest methpds will be taught so that every non-swimmer may be able to grasp the ldea quickly and learn the art of swimming In a few lessons. The five day course is as follows: First day, breathing exercises, sub- merging, racers plunge, land drill using proper arm stroke; second day, class work with water wings using proper arm strokes; third day, fourth day, rhythmic co-ordination of leg and arm strokes; fifth day, practice and tests.
