Excerpt from At Home in the Water: Swimming, Diving, Life Saving, Water Sports, Natatoriums There is no pastime or play that is more democratic in its nature than swimming. Where a number of persons are gathered to enjoy this invigorating sport, there is only one line to be drawn - the water level; and the aristocrats are those who can keep their heads above water. In its larger aspect, swimming has an economic as well as a social value, in conserving health. Every state should, therefore, prevent the foun tain heads of our rivers from contamination. Every farmer who would have his home attrae tive should prevent the pigpens and cow byres from polluting the little streams that spring on his soil or pass through it. Farmers can help their sons to think with pleasure of the dear old homestead by having a good-sized swimmin' hole on it. This will help keep the boys from the saloon and make life a little less dry. After a hard day's work a swim will invigorate one and ward off old age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Excerpt from How to Swim: A Practical Manual of Swimming by a Practical Swimmer and a Guide to the Novice as Well as the Expert, Showing the Easiest Methods of Learning to Swim, Dive and Float, Various Kinds of Strokes, With Directions and Illustrations for Acquiring the Crawl And The author of this little volume originally compiled the material at the request of the late James E. Sullivan, with whom he was associated in Amateur Athletic Union affairs for a great many years and therefore naturally takes a more than passing interest in the book. With the great advance that has been manifested in swimming, it became necessary to make a thorough revision of the entire matter, at the same time adding a new chapter in life-saving methods which should prove invaluable.

Excerpt from At Home in the Water: Swimming, Diving, Life Saving, Water Sports, Natatoriums In 1913, according to the United States census statistics, over seven thousand persons lost their lives through accidental drowning. It is a strange fact that many who are daily exposed to danger from drowning do not know how to swim. This is true of lumbermen, of men in the navy, of many who are members of crews on ships and boats. It is not underestimating the facts to say that fully twenty-five percent of all young men and boys in the United States over twelve years of age do not know how to swim, and the percentage is, of course, much larger when applied to both sexes and to all ages. Every one should know how to swim, for at least three reasons: It is a splendid form of exercise, judged from the standpoint of physiology, resulting in improved health accompanied by ease and grace of carriage; it imparts self-reliance and courage, which become elements in one's character, increasing one's power both for good and against evil; and finally it may prove the means of saving life.

In a masterful work of cultural history, Charles Sprawson, himself an obsessional swimmer and fluent diver, explores the meaning that different cultures have attached to water, and the search for the springs of classical antiquity. In nineteenth-century England bathing was thought to be an instrument of social and moral reform, while in Germany and America swimming came to signify escape. For the Japanese the swimmer became an expression of samurai pride and nationalism. Sprawson gives is fascinating glimpses of the great swimming heroes: Byron leaping dramatically into the surf at Shelley’s beach funeral; Rupert Brooke swimming naked with Virginia Woolf, the dark water “smelling of mint and mud”; Hart Crane swallow-diving to his death in the Bay of Mexico; Edgar Allan Poe’s lone and mysterious river-swims; Leander, Webb, Weissmuller, and a host of others. Informed by the literature of Swinburne, Goethe, Scott Fitzgerald, and Yukio Mishima; the films of Riefenstahl and Vigo; the Hollywood “swimming musicals” of the 1930s; and delving in and out of Olympic history, Haunts of the Black Masseur is an enthralling assessment of man—body submerged, self-absorbed. It is quite simply the best celebration of swimming ever written, even as it explores aspects of culture in a heretofore unimagined way.
