First step is to scoop up wa- ter with both hands and rub it all over your face, When you are used to this stage, then take a breath (not too big), hold your nose and dip your whole face under water for a few seconds, When that---has--become easy, dip your face in water without holding your nose. Only before you do, you take a breath and start to breathe it out through your nose. You don't actually blow it out, but be ready to, This step is to teach you that you must have air pressure in your nose when your face is under wa- ter to keep water out, The fourth step is to learn to bubble your breath slowly out through your nose while your face is under water. When you can do it easily, blow slowly, stop, then start again, Try to blow bubbles out through your nose and mouth at the same time, The fifth step is designed to help you learn to open your eyes under water. Drop a penny in the basin, take a breath, put your face in the water and look at the y. Get closer and read the print- ing on it, All-of--these--stages-- should also have taught you that the water will not hurt your eyes and that when they are wet, you should just blink them not rub them. TEACH SLOWLY The wash basin routine is among techniques used by the Red ss to take the fear out of the early stages of learning to swim. M,- A. --MeMartin,.. Ontario director of water safety serv- ices for the Red Cross, says: "I don't believe in this old story of 'throw them in and they'll swim',.1 think we've driven kids away from the water with that attitude," Mr. McMartin says the ap- proach to swimming should be as slow as the child needs it to be, as much fun as pos- sible to overcome fears, and well supervised in shallow water for safety's sake, "How fast you go through the early stages will depend on the child, Some you should play with, have them sit on the beach and watch the other kids. Some do have fears which are difficult to over come, "If you can, get them to have fun in the water--ring around a rosy, playing with sand pails or water balls-- anything that has them hav- ing fun and falling in. After all, they may be going into a lake that's sort of dark, and they don't know what's under- neath there, ( "But once they have the de sire to swim, any instructor fan teach them." OUTSIDER BEST Mr. MeMartin says he he- lieves a qualified outsider can teach swimming better than a parent, He has training and he has authority, When he's working with a class he can use buddy and group meth- ods, and the children may take courage from one an- other. Mr. McMartin says, in addi- tion to its regular classes, the Red Cross does provide in- structors for groups that want one. He suggests cottagers' associations could hire a qual- ified instructor, He adds that a few swim- ming lessons do not make a child an expert, Children still need supervision and they should get as much skill as possible, "T think people have to know how to swim to survive, and | think they have to go further than the beginner level, Surveys have shown that parents fee] that after their children have had a few lessons they can swim with- out supervision. Every year about 9) children in Ontario lie swimming without super- vision. I haven't the national figure here, but it's about three times as high. "Think how quickly a child can disappear in a supermar- during the first two weeks in THE STARS SAY September and the last two By ESTRELLITA | weeks in December.
