Preface: The annual toll paid to Neptune in valuable lives should be a sufficient incentive for everyone to learn how to swim. The teaching of swimming should be made compulsory in every school and a perfect knowledge exacted of all who have the management of vessels, as well as those employed thereon. As a preventative of disease as well as an upbuilder of the body and a moulder of form it stands without a rival among all the systems devised for the purpose of physical care and perfection…..It’s sixteen chapters and numerous illustations make this a valuable guide to any swimmer or teacher. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900’s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
