Only fifty per cent of the people
in the United Statea can iwlm at
all; yat thla it the aaaaon when
yonnc and old flock to the beacbea
and poola recardleaa of their knowl
edge. of watef technique. Of the
60 per cent who iwlm, only 10 per
cent Bwlm well. The aafety of
tbeae untrained bathera la left to
the llfegvard^lf one la preaent
b it any wonder that approximately
7,000 pm’aona drown every year?
Moat drownlnga occur during
May. Jtm% July and Augnat, for It
la during Uieaa montha that 80 mil
lion Amarloana go **8wlmming‘’.
Perbapa 7,000 drownlnga aeema a
email percMtage of the 80 million
who attempt to awlm, but don’t for
get that a much greater number
auffer near-drowni^ ezperiencM,
irlth ahoek and illneaa. hot to men
tion the inhlbltiona that aucb ex-
periencea place on future enjoy
ment of the water. The number of
peraona who will hate near-drown-
iog expariencaa thla year can be
eatlmated on the baaia of
proximately SO for every one who
drowna.
L4ka moat accidenta, tboae in the
water are generally preventable.
They are the reault of ignorance
of the waya of the water and how
to handle oae’a aelf on it and in it.
Fortunately, the knowledge and
akin eaaential to real water ability
can be eaally and pleaaantly ac
quired.
The American Red Croaa Saving
Service waa organised a little over
a quarter of a century ago. In that
period the drowning rate haa been
cut 68 per cent
