64 W ILMETTE LIFE June 14, 1929 Robinson Tells How · ·~ Swimming Aids Mental · and Physical Health BY TOM ROBINSON Northwestern Coach Have you ever taken the time to study some of the things that live in the water? In our streams we find beautiful rainbow trout, in the rivers and lakes and oceans, fish and animals sport and play .. It is second nature for a real red-blooded boy or girl to want to play or swim. Styles change, and so do swimming strokes. Twentyfive years ago the present day crawl strokes were first coming· into use. The difference in speed in the present dav swimming and the old ways is com-parable to the difference between running and walking. Oh, yes, we use more energy and more muscles are brought into action, but the skill in the use of arms and legs gets us to a given point with more ease and faster than we used to. We have discovered how to combine the legs, arms and breathing so as tv make one of the smoothest muscular combinations in athletic events. Where as a well-developed crawl swimmer slips along through the water like a mountain trout, an old-time breast stroker looks more like the frog or tortoise type when seen in action. I believe in results: and year after year I see t h 2 fine physical development of your boys and girls. Through their efforts to be come hetter swimmers they develop a well-rounded set of muscles. They develop strength, courage, and of necessi ty they must think in order to learn muscle control. Judge Andrew Bruce said to me, "My athletic activities were as important to me as anv other branch in my educational adva~cement." We learn to judg-e events and obey rules in swimming as well as in other sports. Make swimming an avocation to keep physically and mentally fit. Safety in and around water is a matter of being ready and fit in the event of accident. Parents should have their children taught this valuable art. To those who use the take : Don't dive from piers unless you first find QUt how deep t_ he water is. Remember jumping into water results in cuts and brui ses from rougb bottoms. The most dangerous wind and wave action is our northeasters. West southwest winds are strong ohly out a way from shore, and only affect small boats and canoes. It is hard to get back to shore if you get caught in a good strong wind of this kind.
