Planks, floats, bladders and other artificial contrivances are advised
by some, but after swimming for years in nearly all the waters of the
world, I cannot endorse such doubtful assistance. As one cannot
actually swim when supported in this way, it is far better to start in

There are only twelve hour marks on the clock, but if there are more

The formation is to a great extent governed by the plays to be made,
but as a general rule the seven rushers stand in line of battle facing
their opponents. Just behind the rushers stands the quarter-back, and
a few yards in the rear of him the two half-backs are placed; while a
dozen yards further back, alone in his glory, the full-back guards
his precious goal.

Swimming on the back is very easy, once the confidence is assured

Swimming on the back is very easy, once the confidence is assured. In
this method the hands are folded on the breast, or still better, kept
under the water and close to the sides. This done, the feet are drawn
up together, as in breast swimming, and then kicked out together. As
the arms are the chief driving power, swimming on the back is at best
but a slow, jerky method of proceeding, but if one has not learned to
float, it is a good way to rest for a bit in a long swim.

Endurance is the great thing to strive for

Endurance is the great thing to strive for. The man who lasts is the
man who wins. Therefore, in your walks, particularly when you are
learning to walk well, like an Indian or a soldier, never try to do

As I have said before, diving may be useful in saving life, or in
finding objects that have been lost in the water. In such cases it
will be necessary to keep the eyes open, otherwise you will be much
like one groping in the dark.

These are the things that set the boy up in the world without making
him too proud. The first stilts I ever used–I was brought up on a
farm–I cut ‘with my little hatchet.’ They were made from two beech
saplings, with the section of a branch retained at the same height on
each for foot rests, and the length sufficient to come under the arms
and be easily grasped. These were rude makeshifts, but they did to
start with, and on them I learned to balance.
