Omaha Women
Learning to Swim
The Interesting process of learning
to swim is afforded amusement in 200
Omaha homes daily since Swimming
Instructor Pete Wendell has started
his summer classes for women and
girls In the Nicholas fienn hospital
pool.
WaaHtuba, bathtubs, buckets—any
thing which will hold water—have
been put Into use as some 200 women
and girls learn breath control by sub
merging the head and exhaling under
water. ,
The first lesson Is devoted to breath
control anti requires endless head
duckings as the swimmers learn to
breathe In through the mouth and
out through the pose. There was a
great deal of spluttering and gulping
aa Instructor Wendell stood on the
bank of the Nicholas Senn pool and
put the novice swimmers through
their first lessons.
Already some are swimming the
length of the tank, SO feet, after their
third lesson and are anxiously await
ing their first spring from the div
ing hoard. Do you dive? Perchance
you have been In one of the classes.
Anyway It Is plenty of excitement for
the beginner.

playing It nearer the center of your
feet. Solid contact is needed to
transmit the message of feel and

For normal flight you should feel
comfortable, with the body in a mod

should have good balance for an easy
swing which the wind cannot over
come. Your body should he relaxed
and well poised, but steady enough
so that the wind cannot overcome
you. For lower JJlght I bend over
more, being particularly careful that
T do not crouch so low that I lose my
balance, and I never lean my body
into the wind. The knees should he
