One thing is sure?he's been doing it ever since! After countless ages, swimming remains one of man's most useful, beneficial sports. Few other activities combine as much good exercise, relaxation and sheer fun. Another reason for swim ii!in? a iirneiess popularity: nearly everyone?young, old, even the handicapped?can enjoy it. A sunny day at a lake or beach?any day at an indoor pool .. .and the fun begins. But swimming also has a serious side. Statistics show live to seven thousand Americans drown each year! The \ "culprit" is simple carelessi r v'o? *>s* ?/ BETTER WAIT THAN NEVER.' jJ i n f On Being Fair Oftentimes when you try to be fair, help two people settle a difference, or make a decision, someone feels that he didn't get the answer which suits him best. In other words when the decision is made, one person feels hurt. That's just the way it goes. When a large group of people are treated fairly, an individual will not get the answer that he would like. Then he im j meaiaieiy tninks he is being mistreated. [ When several hundred people are being considered, the individual must look at it from the part of a group and never with the selfishness of his own personal interest. When we ask for any kind of decision for a group, we ' must forget personal gains and look at it from a cooperative sense, pull together, and gain that way. i a Sherrill Lawson. Sonny Kates.

To reduce the dangers?and add to the fun of summer outings?YMCA experts have drawn on 75 years of water safety experience to compile some valuable, professional tips. First and most important rule, they say, is to learn to swim well. Because swimming seems so natural, some people ignore the need for skilled professional training. Yet, the poor swimmer remains a constant menace to himself?and others. It doesn't matter if the choice is a pooh lake or beach --make sure a life guard is present. Other useful precautions: never swim alone; obey all warning signs. Many a noggin has been split in shallow water ... many persons have been infected by polluted water because they thought the warning signs jlist part of the scenery. Because swimming is an exercise, personal safety often depends on physical condition. If you don't rest and cool off after exertion. YMCA experts warn, plunging back into cold water may cause you to black out from a sudden rise in blood pressure. It may also cause painful. disabling cramps. Perhaps the greatest water menances are the "would be hero" and the "water showoff." It's a grim rule, but performing dangerous stunts to impress people sooner or later gets you in trouble.

No one should attempt a water rescue until he's passed an expert course in rescue techniques. Though following the safety rules avoids most accidents, a few emergencies may still occur. If they do, remember: the best policy is always to keep calm, and use your head. Here are some emergency rules laid down by \ MCA experts: If - 1 ^ -* ii a uuai capsizes ? siav with the boat. If a swimmer is in trouble?and you're rot a rescue expert?try reaching him with a pole or clothing or throw him something buoyant to hang on. Sometimes it's possible to reach the swimmer by hanging on to a dock or float with your free hand. Even if the rescued swimmer looks in hopeless shape, puick application of artifical respiration usually revives him.
