Synopsis
Excerpt from At Home in the Water: Swimming, Diving, Life Saving, Water Sports, Natatoriums
There is no pastime or play that is more democratic in its nature than swimming. Where a number of persons are gathered to enjoy this invigorating sport, there is only one line to be drawn - the water level; and the aristocrats are those who can keep their heads above water. In its larger aspect, swimming has an economic as well as a social value, in conserving health. Every state should, therefore, prevent the foun tain heads of our rivers from contamination. Every farmer who would have his home attrae tive should prevent the pigpens and cow byres from polluting the little streams that spring on his soil or pass through it.
Farmers can help their sons to think with pleasure of the dear old homestead by having a good-sized swimmin' hole on it. This will help keep the boys from the saloon and make life a little less dry. After a hard day's work a swim will invigorate one and ward off old age.
